(Pocket-lint) – Amazon has admitted that Comixology’s migration to the retailer’s website and relaunch of the app hasn’t gone as smoothly as it hoped. And that “the current experience must be improved”.
The Comixology mobile app was shut down earlier this year, and the online store was integrated into Amazon’s retail site. However, a number of obstacles have disappointed fans of digital comics.
For example, we found that the new app didn’t remember our progress in a significant number of our own comics and series. Others have complained about the web playback client. Amazon’s search resulted in incorrect content when searching for comics and graphic novels, including non-fiction books.
A lengthy thread on the official Comixology Twitter feed lists a number of fixes the team is working on.
1./ We’ve combed through your feedback, and continue to be grateful to all the comic book lovers out there. We understand that the current experience needs improvements, and we want you to know that we’re working hard to get them in place as soon as possible.

The changes will include a way to filter the content of comics in the Kindle mobile app, to display them more prominently or hide them entirely.
Fixes will be coming in the “coming weeks”, so be sure to check them out.
