Q70%
by Q####:

Love this app, but I'm having some trouble with downloading all "What-if?" articles due to a 301 error. Other than that, it's simple and quick to use, definitely my favorite client by far.

V70%
by V####:

I love this app because it lets you download all the xkcds! I'd give it 5 stars, but saving comic image seems not to work and downloading all what-ifs crashes the app. I am using Xiaomi Redmi 2 Miui 8, Android 4.4.4 Kitkat. Ps: love the update message (I can identify with that)

R70%
by R####:

Great app that rarely crashes, and can save comics to view offline. I do have an issue though, when I try to download all the comics it gives me error 302. Unless it doesn't have the new URL it should be able to continue. A fix would be nice.

This is by far my favourite XKCD app out there. Great UI, favourite comics, option to immediately download comic image, integrated What-if, explainXKCD and external links that Randall includes every once in a while. I usually forget to write reviews for apps, but after getting 405 errors on every page I contacted the Dev. I got a very quick reply explaining the situation and one play store update later everything was working as smoothly as before.

U70%
by U####:

The download all button doesn't work. It downloads 8 or so before crashing. This problem has persisted through 2 phones. Otherwise great app.

Q70%
by Q####:

I think this is the best xkcd app. But whenever I try to download all comics I get an http 302 response. Is the URL you are using no longer valid?

Q70%
by Q####:

Fastest way to read xkcd on the go. I love the offline downloading feature. Is there any way to make only one icon show up in my launcher though?

Q70%
by Q####:

The "download all" feature is broken. It downloads 5 or 6 comics before it exits with a 302 error. Great UI. Love the app

Q70%
by Q####:

I love this app, but it uses an ungodly amount of RAM. We are talking more RAM than all of the comics added together stored on the RAM. (200 megabytes, the comics are just over 140). Otherwise, it is fantastic.

M70%

This app works flawlessly but... What if explorer does not work at all. Please fix this problem.

K70%

Great app! Recently I'm getting error 302 when trying to download all comics. Any hope for a fix?

Z70%
by Z####:

Some pages result in HTTP 301 (such as what if #119) some error in URL parsing perhaps?

U70%
by U####:

This is by far my favorite app in existence. Screw games, screw Reddit all I need in life is some xkcd and what if and I'm happy with life. Thanks for keeping this free and adfree along with maintaining it. I would gladly donate to the cause, just point the direction.

So glad I stumbled on to this app- I gave up looking for any that worked well a long time ago.

Q70%
by Q####:

The best app for xkcd, simple UI, would love to see a mini search engine for words inside the pages though (unless there is but I don't know about it)
