Install My Comics Collection on your phone
Turn your browser into a dedicated app in 30 seconds. No app store needed, it is free and instant. Your comic book collection always at your fingertips.
What is a PWA app for comic management?
My Comics Collection is a Progressive Web App (PWA), a modern technology that lets you install a comics app directly from your browser, without going through an app store. This approach offers many advantages for collectors: no large downloads, automatic updates, and an experience identical to a native app. Whether you want to check your collection statistics or verify your missing comics at the shop, the app is always ready.
Installation takes less than 30 seconds on both iPhone and Android. Once installed, the comics PWA app appears on your home screen with its own icon, just like the apps you already know. It opens in fullscreen, without a browser bar, for an immersive and enjoyable experience. You can manage your collection tracking, scan your barcodes, and even browse your story arcs directly from this mobile app.
iPhone / iOS Installation
Install the app on iPhone in 4 steps
Use the Safari browser to install the comics app on your iPhone or iPad. The process is quick and requires no additional account.
Open Safari and go to mycomicscollection.com/app
Tap the Share button (square icon with an upward arrow)
Scroll and tap "Add to Home Screen"
Tap "Add" to confirm. The icon appears on your home screen.
Android Installation
Install the app on Android in 4 steps
Use the Chrome browser to install the comics app on your Android smartphone or tablet. Installation is even faster than on iOS.
Open Chrome and go to mycomicscollection.com/app
Tap the 3 vertical dots in the top right of the browser
Tap "Install app" or "Add to home screen"
Confirm and the app appears in your app drawer and on the home screen.
Why install the comics app on your phone?
Comic collectors are often on the go: at conventions, specialty bookstores, flea markets, or visiting friends. Having your comic management app directly accessible from your phone's home screen completely changes the experience. No need to open a browser, type an address, or search through bookmarks. A single tap on the icon and your collection tracker appears instantly in fullscreen.
The My Comics Collection PWA is designed to run smoothly on all modern smartphones. It uses browser caching to load essential pages quickly, even on a slow connection. Collectors can check their wishlist before buying an issue, avoiding duplicate purchases. It is an essential tool for any serious collector who wants their collection in their pocket.
A native experience without the drawbacks
Unlike traditional apps, the comics PWA does not require downloading from an app store. No extra account to create, no manual updates to perform, no wasted storage space. The app updates automatically on every visit, ensuring you always have the latest version with all new features like the barcode scanner or collection valuation.
Installing on iPhone: what you need to know
On iOS devices, Safari is the only browser that supports PWA installation. If you use another browser on your iPhone, you will need to open the page in Safari first. The process is simple: go to mycomicscollection.com/app, tap the share button (the square icon with an arrow), then select "Add to Home Screen". The app will be accessible like any other app on your phone.
Once the comics app is installed on your iPhone, it opens in fullscreen mode without Safari's address bar. You get a fully immersive interface for managing your series, checking your statistics, and tracking your progress. Notifications are also supported on recent iOS versions, letting you know when a new issue from a followed series is available.
Installing on Android: even simpler
Installing the PWA on Android is particularly smooth. Chrome automatically detects that My Comics Collection is an installable app and often shows an installation banner at the bottom of the screen. If this banner does not appear, simply open the three-dot menu and select "Install app". On some devices, the option is called "Add to Home screen" and the result is identical.
On Android, the comics app integrates perfectly with the system. It appears in the app drawer, can be pinned to the home screen, and supports push notifications. You can even share content directly to the app from other apps, making adding new comics even faster. The experience is comparable to a native app, with the advantage of instant updates and minimal storage usage.
Compatible with all recent smartphones
My Comics Collection works on all devices running iOS 14 and above (via Safari) and Android 8 and above (via Chrome). This covers the vast majority of smartphones and tablets in use today. The app can also be installed on desktop via Chrome or Edge, for those who prefer a dedicated desktop experience. Whether you use your phone to track your comic loans or to check grading notes, the experience will always be optimal.
