US comics publisher IDW Publishing has announced that its free app now offers digital readers a revamped design and improved reading experience.

Now matching the award-winning comic book company’s rebrand for 2025, the free app features the latest releases front and center, including everything from the best-selling TMNT titles to acclaimed original horror stories like Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees. 

As part of an ongoing effort to improve the digital reading experience for fans, the app – available for Apple and Android devices – now offers a revamped search function making it easier than ever before to find your favourite comics from the vast IDW library.

Readers now also have the ability to choose between reading horizontally or vertically, as well as offline mode, allowing readers to download comics to their device and read them at any time, regardless of an internet connection.  

“We are excited to provide our fans with a mobile reading experience for the fantastic stories our creators have put their passion behind,” stated Sean Brice, Senior Director of Sales. “With the new IDW app, fans instantly have access to decades of IDW content, new and old, at their fingertips with the click of a button. Want to find back issues you missed to complete a story or binge read that long ongoing series that seemed daunting to get into? Or maybe you want to download and read the series you’ve fallen behind during a trip over the holidays? Fans can now accomplish all of that with the new IDW app.”

The new and improved IDW app is available now for download for Apple and Android devices and features the latest releases including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles X Naruto #1, Star Trek: Lower Decks #1, and much more
