The present research was developed in order to provide innovate tools of teaching for the development of writing skills. Considering that technology, in this case the Internet, is taking a more important role in education, it was key to search for new tools that this resource provides. As a result, digital comic apps were selected for the learning-teaching process, especially in the writing skills area. For this investigation, five digital comic apps were selected:Storybird, Toondoo, Bitstrips for Schools, Digital Storytelling and Boomwriter. As the main goal was to provide facts about the advantages and limitations of using these apps in the development of writing skills based on several applied studies, it was important to do an in-depth analysis of each. Taking into account this, the bibliographic research method was used in order to select one from the five different apps as the most useful for writing skills, as well as to obtain conclusions and recommendations from the investigation.
