The digital comic shop and reader app launches its hotly anticipated Android iteration.
The wait is over. Omnibus, the digital comic book store and reader app that sponsors our weekly Referrals segments on the podcast, is finally available as an Android app through the Google Play Store. With its recent release for the iPhone, the time for its proliferation through the comics-reading community is here.
As we champion every week on the show, Omnibus truly is the digital equivalent of walking into your local comic book store, browsing around, and picking up your books. With its Wishlist function, you can even create a pullbox of sorts, squirreling away intriguing titles until you have the money or the time to read them.
Omnibus CEO Travis Schmeisser understands the importance of accessibility, and he's fought hard to make the app widely available. For months, we've been exchanging messages back and forth, eagerly anticipating this moment when the service could be available to both Android and iPhone users. In the full press release below, he calls this new "momentous," and we echo his sentiment.
The platforms readers use now support Omnibus. If you've been craving an alternative in the digital comics buying and reading space, it's now available to you. Open the app and "walk" in. Pull a few books off their shelves, give them a preview, and start making that Wishlist. Of course, we suggest you begin with those featured in our Referral segments.
