This app is in violation of the Creative Commons license xkcd is released under Charging to remove adds is a direct attempt to profit off xkcd and against the CCL Also just wrong     Remove this app Yohnsyusef

This is a good reader for xkcd You can search view alt text zoom in on or save like photos The only feature I wish it had was a randomized feature I get a daily random comic notification but would like to have a randomizer feature on demand                 Good Hi_bear
Downloads new comics Easy to view Nice app Two requests when sending comic add alt text to the message provide a link to explain XKCD wiki sad to say I don t always get the comic                 Almost perfect way to view XKCD snappa48
The controls used to be perfect a long time ago Tap to hide status menu action bars Pinch to zoom easily Or double tap to zoom is great too I can t remember for positive exactly which actions did what But some time ago they changed the controls in a supremely annoying way Now you can t hide the status menu action bars And merely touching the screen will show the alt text It doesn t even wait for the release half of a tap or try to detect what kind of gesture you are trying to make If you try to zoom or just touch the screen at all bam Alt text covering the entire comic It is incredibly annoying to try to zoom and the menu status action bars waste screen real estate when I want to hide them Choose a different XKCD viewer until this is fixed there are plenty     Controls are terrible frostyiron
Love this app I prefer it to using the website it has a lot of subtle little details that make using it a joy For example I love that I can tap and hold to quickly view the alt text or tap the info button to keep it up So great Toggling through zoom levels via double tapping is really nice too I use it on both my iPad and iPhone                     Better than the website QWERTYthon
I have loved XKCD for years I was really happy to find this app The only feature I would ask for would be a way to bookmark a cartoon so I could just jump back to where I stopped reading Other than that I appreciate that it is always updated with the most current drawings I don t mind the press and hold to pull up the title of the drawing I discovered that if I need to stretch a drawing to make it larger to read the big or long ones if I use two fingers to move it around it doesn t snap back to the compressed size Using two fingers makes it very easy to move the drawing around and stretch or shrink it as needed depending on the level of detail I want                 Great app that needs a book mark feature Thom_D
Love this app been using it for years A few months back the interface changed and it has become very difficult to use It use to be that you tap the screen to get the comic alt text but now holding the screen makes it appear as well This causes problems if you zoom in and are trying to scroll across a large comic of text The act of dragging your finger to scroll will often cause the alt text to appear             Great app But update causes problems MrBobDobolina
I agree with iLaff This was a great app and this version got funky Really hard to zoom scroll on a small screen Update Thanks for fixing it                     What happened yann2k
I don t like the new hold for image text feature because it comes up when I m zoomed in and scrolling a large comic                 Remove hold image text KCatch22
I ve been using this app for years It doesn t update me with new comics very reliably but that s fine What really starting bugging me was today s update Trying to read the comic zoomed in because most are impossible to read any other way is really difficult now that tapping and holding the screen makes the alt text appear It s constantly zooming out and jumping around This would be a total deal breaker but there aren t many options for XKCD readers Please fix this             Just got fidgety conlaff
This app is brilliant at what it does Shows the entire xkcd collection with the title text Navigation is super simple and you can star your favorites Plus you get notifications when new comics go up It s a perfect app for what it was built for                     Fantastic App bob99999999
Elegant design Very iOS 8 like My favorite                     Great Reader netlou
Seriously the image scaling is terrible         Needs anti aliasing V8Bassy
Awesome reader really enjoy its simplicity Problem is i don t read xkcd regularly and would like to be able to select a particular one but have to scroll endlessly through xkcd awesomeness It would be really helpful if there was a slide out sidebar that had a list of comics so one could select from there Also a start from where you left off option would be great too                 Index LogoBroyo
It would be helpful if you could set every comic to unread This would help for the times you want to reread all the previous posts                 Update Request Æber
Now it crashes on startup Can t view anything     Was great Phillyeagle199
This is a great app but one thing that I would love to see added are links to the Explain Xkcd wiki                 Great app however AlakaĹźard
Perfect for viewing my xkcd comics I just wish when first downloaded all were unread                     Perfect Witchdoctor Williams
Great app for all xkcd comics Would definitely recommend                     Love it Rattmandall
This app is fantastic Could really use a random button stream and a one tap method to opening in safari chrome Good stuff                     Awesoooome meshs
I opened the app and a message appeared saying unable to load new comics and then it just showed a gray screen It didnt do anything     Dont waste your time
Elegant design Very iOS 8 like My favorite                 Great Reader
The new layout is nice and the readunread is cool however it never marks the comics as read for me              I like the new UI but needs work
I have had this application for several years and was very disapointed to find out that due to it being nonbackwards compatible it ceased working for my iPad 1 early last month Very annoying and frustrating to find out my tablet is obsolete to some apps after only 3 years        Not backwards compatible does not work on iPad 1
was awesome now you cant go from comic to next comic easily you have to close scroll choose zoom tap to read details close details close comic scroll choose ect scrolling list is unreadable and useless just use web browser direct to site unless he goes back to simple and useful interface     unusable now
Were just looking at comics Why require iOS 6     iPad 1 stuck on old version
I only wish for an XKCD app with What If support so I dont need a separate app              Works well
Another reviewer wrote that the user interface is cumbersome and I wholeheartedly agree One example is when a comic is longer than your screen you can not use the down swipe gesture to go back to the comic browser This made the app essentially unusable Deleted immediately     Cumbersome is right
Decent interface Alt text supported Wish you could swipe to the next or previous comic Also the unread category doesnt seem to be working But minor nit picks Looks like the animated comics arent supported But I only looked at one              Decent
I like this enough that I paid to remove the ads Its good and the changes in 31 fix some little annoyances I think the big annoyance remaining is that its hard to jump to older comics It would be great if there was some way to jump to an older year for example                 The best
Great update Loving the continuous scrolling that was missing from previous versions Clean and simple UI very in keeping with iOS7 style Unobtrusive app allowing customization of push notifications Great search tool Most large format comics work well                 So good I decided to leave a review
I have loved XKCD for years I was really happy to find this app The only feature I would ask for would be a way to bookmark a cartoon so I could just jump back to where I stopped reading Other than that I appreciate that it is always updated with the most current drawings I dont mind the press and hold to pull up the title of the drawing I discovered that if I need to stretch a drawing to make it larger to read the big or long ones if I use two fingers to move it around it doesnt snap back to the compressed size Using two fingers makes it very easy to move the drawing around and stretch or shrink it as needed depending on the level of detail I want              Great app that needs a book mark feature
I love this comic but this interface is so unusable and cumbersome the developer should be ashamed     Awful interface
This app has gone back and forth but this last interface revamp was sheer genius The proportional previews flow great and all interaction is fluid Large comics behave wonderfully                 Amazing update
This app has a lot of nice things going for it but the way the new version handles the alttext which other reviewers here sometimes refer to as the comments is completely awful It really detracts from reading the comic in this app Would be at least a fourstar app but this one issue is handled in such a disjointed hamfisted way that Id rather just read the comic in safari        Alttext horribly mangled
Theres a banner at the bottom the entire time this app is used Im not supporting that Deleted Get the other xkcd app     Get the other xkcd app
This is a great app but one thing that I would love to see added are links to the Explain Xkcd wiki              Great app however
Ive been using this app for over a year now I like the push notifications and the mouse over text shows when you swipe left They always load and the new layout works great Ive really enjoyed this app for getting my XKCD fix                 Great App
Versionspecific complaints aside this is a far better app than the other xkcd app                 Better than the other app
I dont understand all these negative reviews This app works great by far the nicest xkcd client                 Its great whats the problem
Great app for all xkcd comics Would definitely recommend                 Love it
I agree with iLaff This was a great app and this version got funky Really hard to zoomscroll on a small screen Update Thanks for fixing it                 What happened
Been using the app for ages The new layout and navigation is fantastic I love that I never have to push a button for 99 of the interface and I can comfortably swipe to navigate for everything To those who cant see the mouse over text swipe left or right while viewing a comic                 Awesome
Love this app been using it for years A few months back the interface changed and it has become very difficult to use It use to be that you tap the screen to get the comic alt text but now holding the screen makes it appear as well This causes problems if you zoom in and are trying to scroll across a large comic of text The act of dragging your finger to scroll will often cause the alt text to appear           Great app But update causes problems

Great app the best so far but its missing two important things first it doesnt have a random comic button but the greater issue is that it has no mouse over text would easily be five stars with the mouse over text incluede           Good but
Seriously the image scaling is terrible        Needs anti aliasing
I want to enter a starting comic number and swipe from comic to comic As it stands its just too much work to go from comic to comic        No way to browse
Love this app I prefer it to using the website it has a lot of subtle little details that make using it a joy For example I love that I can tap and hold to quickly view the alttext or tap the info button to keep it up So great Toggling through zoomlevels via double tapping is really nice too I use it on both my iPad and iPhone                 Better than the website
The search isnt working but otherwise I love it              Love the app needs a fix
This app is brilliant at what it does Shows the entire xkcd collection with the title text Navigation is super simple and you can star your favorites Plus you get notifications when new comics go up Its a perfect app for what it was built for                 Fantastic App
No ads nice simple interface Quick access to my favorite comic Now if there could just be a link to the explainxkcd wiki for those times that I am too obtuse to understand the references                 Latest update is great No ad quick lovely
Now it crashes on startup Cant view anything     Was great
This app is fantastic Could really use a random buttonstream and a one tap method to opening in safarichrome Good stuff                 Awesoooome
Downloads new comics Easy to view Nice app Two requests when sending comic add alt text to the message provide a link to explain XKCD wikisad to say I dont always get the comic              Almost perfect way to view XKCD
It has beautiful and clean interface I dont found any bug and I purchased remove ads few months ago I cant explain why the bad reviews Download it and remove ad banner for only a buck You wont regret                 Stunning
This update is amazing The UI is soooo much better now that its fully iOS 7 And the two column continuous scroll is beautiful                 Awesome
Every time I boot the app it tries to load the comics but nothing ever pulls up     This app doesnt work
lags a bit search only includes direct title keywords              good app
Perfect for viewing my xkcd comics I just wish when first downloaded all were unread                 Perfect
It would be helpful if you could set every comic to unread This would help for the times you want to reread all the previous posts              Update Request
In the old version of the app it was easy to close a comic Swiping to the side flipped the panel to see the caption It was intuitive and I really liked it Now I cant even figure out how to close a comic Unintuitive controls Rethink the controls or go back to the old version Edit after playing around I think that there might be a bug where sometimes sliding the comic down to get back to the menu doesnt work For some reason even knowing I need to slide the comic down I cant always get back to the menu     Used to like this app
The controls used to be perfect a long time ago Tap to hide statusmenuaction bars Pinch to zoom easily Or double tap to zoom is great too I cant remember for positive exactly which actions did what But some time ago they changed the controls in a supremely annoying way Now you cant hide the statusmenuaction bars And merely touching the screen will show the alt text It doesnt even wait for the release half of a tap or try to detect what kind of gesture you are trying to make If you try to zoom or just touch the screen at all bam Alt text covering the entire comic It is incredibly annoying to try to zoom and the menustatusaction bars waste screen real estate when I want to hide them Choose a different XKCD viewer until this is fixed there are plenty     Controls are terrible
Ive been using this app for years It doesnt update me with new comics very reliably but thats fine What really starting bugging me was todays update Trying to read the comic zoomed in because most are impossible to read any other way is really difficult now that tapping and holding the screen makes the alt text appear Its constantly zooming out and jumping around This would be a total deal breaker but there arent many options for XKCD readers Please fix this           Just got fidgety
I dont like the new holdforimagetext feature because it comes up when Im zoomed in and scrolling a large comic              Remove holdimagetext
Best xkcd out there and one of the few with iPhone 5 support It is missing one important feature A random comic button              Missing one thing
Good app exept for the fact that you have to scroll through all the comics to pick up from where you left This is really annoying when you are on comic 500 And there are 1100 comics           Would be good if you could pick up from where you left
The last few updates were rather meh but the latest is fantastic Best xkcd reader on the App Store Some rare comics that dont conform to the usual format still have issues eg 1264 Slideshow but thats understandable Also its missing a way to open the link quickly in safarichrome but you can still copy to clipboard and paste Recommended for any xkcd fan                 Great
I used to love this app but its been several months since it has worked on my iPad 2 Whenever I open the app it keeps crashing without even showing the list of comics Please fix                 Keeps crashing on iPad 2
This app is great Esp For IOS 7 Theres also settings to control what gets push notifications which is a plus                 Great
