I love the cartoons adding humor to all the facts Interesting and funny Jeanio16
The only this I think could be better is the formatting on tablets isn t as good as I could be but it still works This is fantastic Hooooot13
Love the breakdown and the illustrations Good fun Occisor Kakon
nice app works well good Tsaglalal
Let s you read What If with very limited advertising which you can pay to remove Does what it is supposed to Someone467326779
The basic design is great The ads aren t obtrusive or too frequently If the app were consistently good enough that I could read the articles in it instead of having to go to the website I d give it 5 stars But it s not Footnotes with non ASCII text footnotes with footnotes in them and footnotes with math formatting in them are broken Links inside footnotes don t work right Image alt text is often truncated instead of wrapped Sometimes the footnotes are out of order Sometimes links are broken At least one article is missing half a paragraph and an image Some of this may sound like nit picky stuff but we re talking about Randall Munroe here without the jokes hidden in alt text math silliness about accent marks etc what s the point in reading him The app is still good enough to read the majority of the articles But since it won t show me the article number or give me a link in fact it even disables the normal context menu so I can t copy text or links from the middle of an article there s no way for me to read most of the articles here but switch to Safari when it falls down Which makes the app pretty much useless Too many glitches abarnert
Great content if I could read it For several months the text has refused to scroll on an iPad 3 running iOS 9 2 It s very frustrating to get only the first paragraph of an answer Text won t scroll Thom-C
This app is great I can always count on it for humor but I also learn from it Beautiful 98774
Great content but app unreliable often unusable w iOS 9 Scrolling broken unresponsive at times does not match the care of the author Simple app unreliable GregOh!
I love the reasoning and exploration of the many topics I understand there is a new topic every week Could this app be updated more frequently to include currently posted content Perhaps during the same week Keep up the great work A for content GIGObug
When I click on an article in the list it goes to a loading page and loads for several minutes before I give up and force close the app All buttons are disabled within the app during this loading purgatory App is useless for me as a result iOS 8 4 1 iPhone 5S Won t load freezes 123engineer
This is easily in my top 5 apps just behind xkcd but it no longer updates I ve been stuck on Spiders bs The Sun for 5 weeks now and the app doesn t have a refresh option Please update I have so many random questions that need overly scientific definitive answers One of my fav apps but bananatreephoto
Absolutely vital information and expert speculation which any human could well live without but why would they want to Vital trivia Sailorsammy
A good application Some minor issues with the footnotes sometimes Good theternalone
All the questions you always wondered about but didn t know how to ask them or who to ask that would know the answer Cool app the falvonator
Cool app Oggy Eggnog
I have the official book and this gets updated so it is awesome but someone needs to add the weird and worrying questions from the what if inbox cause those were really funny Awesome but needs wawqftwii schoboat
Lack of numbering makes finding your place difficult Noticeable bugs sometimes numbers such as 3 x 10 12 show up as I Sometimes reference text bleeds into normal text and distinguishing becomes difficult Buggy mbarrows
This app asks to be reviewed too often Asks to be reviewed too often MoloPro
this new update fixed everything that I was unsatisfied with Thanks for this handy app A rleever
The chronological order of articles is not immediately apparent A simple list sorted by date would probably be more intuitive Multicolums is fine but having clear column separators and some visual hints about how articles are ordered top to bottom then left to right would help If not that at least adding the date the article was published should suffice Nice but layout is confusing Kokerphone
Images in the articles currently do not show up but otherwise I appreciate the ability to read these articles while offline Nice but Flawed revengeanceful
What if is awesome Great app Sf1215
This app contains hours of interesting content Starting off with the repercussions of a baseball traveling near the speed of light Mr Munroe comes out of the gate swinging with absurd scenarios that no one realized they wanted to know until they hear them He does excellent research to in order to best answer these ludicrous questions and often will take each one a step further turning some possibly boring answers into fascinating and humorous thought experiments It s a solid purchase that you won t regret and with updates every Tuesday theres always more to read Excellent interesting app KYTague
This app is no nonsense and straight to the articles It s incredibly easy to navigate and there are some great articles in it There was one about ink molecules that was a good one I plan on keeping this app for when I want a lesson on a subject and I want it fast There is nothing to click except what you want to read Again great app Easy to use and great leedk15
This app has a very wide selection of articles It s never ending and I can read however much I want not worrying about it ending My only problem is that it freezes from time to time not allowing to me to read further Other than that great app Very nice Allling290
