Until last week I'd have given it 4☆. Then it stopped downloading new comics.

Double tap comic to get alt text. Works mostly. It's free.

Y70%
by Y####:

Missing an update function, new comic is available via the website but not visible in this app.

B70%
by B####:

I have to wonder though - has "gounder" ever read xkcd? Complaining about the messages that pop up...wow. Hint: those are part of the comic originally

W70%
by W####:

The interface is easy and simple and I like how you can download the comics right to your phone.

Y70%
by Y####:

Comics onto the sd card makes this the best reader. Xkcd ANYWHERE.

Y70%
by Y####:

I love almost everything about this app, except it does not install on SD (Cartoons are saved on SD). I'd like a button to download all cartoons.

Y70%
by Y####:

The best xkcd app I've tried.

Y70%
by Y####:

Very nice! Zoom buttons more than welcome.

Y70%

Allows downloads for offline viewing and favorites of xkcd comic.

Y70%
by Y####:

Would prefer it not to sync, however a great download all feature.

T70%
by T####:

Will be higher rating when all the force closing gets fixed.

B70%
by B####:

The download feature is great, though I would like it to automatically sync and alert for new comics. Nice, minimalistic interface.

Q70%
by Q####:

Takes a bit to load and freezes sometimes, even on 4G. Otherwise would be 5

V70%
by V####:

Hover text wont show anymore.

B70%
by B####:

I love this app. Certainly the best xkcd viewer. 5 stars when the files save to 'xkcd' instead of 'files' so my image gallery looks neater.

S70%
by S####:

Pops up random messages while reading a comic. The guy who made this thought it would be funny

O70%
by O####:

1. Initial zoom is just right 2. Strips are listed => convenient for selecting

Y70%
by Y####:

Please add support for four digit numbers, now that the comic passed 1000 :)

K70%
by K####:

Works really well, apart from the interactive ones.

X70%
by X####:

There are some comics that cause app to crash everytime. For example everytime I open #1331 the app crashes.

D70%
by D####:

Great viewer

X70%
by X####:

Allows you to quickly and easily browse all comics in list form ( which is something a lot of other xkcd apps don't have), and mark favorites

A70%
by A####:

Pretty great. Just needs a Refresh/Update button, and to not save with all of the camera pictures.

X70%
by X####:

This app loads a higher res version of the larger comics like 916 so you can actually read them

S70%
by S####:

Other xkcd Browsers are upwards of half a day late on posted comics. This one is always current. Interface isn't quite as polished though.

B70%
by B####:

Good for the comics, but you might consider doing what-if.xkcd too (the other xkcd app does, but i like the UI of this one better). Also, are dirty comics not shown? (Ex, comic 940 is about sex but the one inside this app is another 5-minute comic?)

B70%
by B####:

If I use arrows to go back and forth between comics, it freezes or I get an "error - force close" message. I have to use the back button, then select the next comic from the menu. I'm tempted to just uninstall and find a different app.

S70%
by S####:

@Michael comic 1037 shows a different comic depending on what browser you open it with. It's not a bug

S70%
by S####:

Works well enough, but some UX improvements could bump it to a 5 for me. - Swipe left/right to change comic - Allow downloading of a comic as an option rather than the default (my devices all have fixed storage, not SD cards). - A slide-up pane at the bottom of the screen which presents the alt text and save to disk button would certainly be prettier.

S70%
by S####:

Works ok for a few minutes. Just double tap the screen for the pop up text. But now crashes on every third or fourth comic. Original Droid.

N70%
by N####:

Has ability to download comic strips for later reading Have been using it from last 6 months

S70%
by S####:

comic 1037 is just showing comic 1036 with the ALT text of comic 1037.

D70%
by D####:

I like the offline search, no 'what if' though

R70%
by R####:

Great! Best xkcd-app on market

W70%
by W####:

Fantastic! Thanks a million!

U70%
by U####:

Excellent app. All it needs is a widget for the homescreen for tablet users, similar to the FML and UrbanDictionary apps. 5 stars.

S70%
by S####:

Buggy, crashes often when network connectivity is poor. The comics in the Gallery are annoying. "XKCD Browser" by Floern is better at being this app.
