This app is how I get my regular dose of xkcd. It works great and has more features than I could ever ask for! It's open source too, so if I wanted something added, I'd be free to code it.

Most used app on my phone.

U70%
by U####:

It'd be great to be able to autohide the title bar (an optional fullscreen mode) until one swiped down from the top. But excellent != perfect, so I still deem this app worthy of 5 stars.

This is a really awesome app, does ecactly waht its supposed to! This app racks up cache very quickly... Annoying for those of us with small storage spaces :

K70%
by K####:

I've finally managed to read all xkcd strips (except of "Click and Drag" which I had to view on PC) thanks to this lovely app. Fantastic job!

Y70%
by Y####:

There's a setting to hide the zoom in and out buttons when using the pinch zoom, but they don't go away until I wake a few seconds after touching the screen. This is the only issue I've ever had with the app though, it's great in every other way.

Y70%
by Y####:

Only vehicle for mobile! consumption of XKCD that doesn't compromise functionality of desktop access

by Y####:

By the way you shoukd add what if? To the settings menu
