This app is everything that I needed. Dark mode, favorites, explain xkcd, share comic. Thank you for creating this app. This app is now my favorite pastime.
★★★★★
Great app. Common sense features, works on all but the interactive comics
★★★★★
If you need a xkcd reader in your life, this is it. It has all the features that I need and it's great!
★★☆☆☆
This was a pretty great way to view the library of xkcd comics, but it has stopped functioning entirely. It crashes any time I try to load it. As much as I liked this app, I won't be using it even if it's fixed. It seems like just adding a web browser bookmark on the home screen is an easier and better way to browse.
★★☆☆☆
Have seen multiple comics so far where an image partially overlaid some text, making it difficult to impossible to read. Also, swiping between comics requires a very pronounced gesture & usually takes 3–4 tries, can't go back to where you were if accidentally tap random button, & double-tap to fav doesn't work. Would also prefer explain to be buttoned instead of having to open menu & single tap to show image text. // Response to dev: b/c that is so much more intuitive than just pressing back?
★★☆☆☆
Was working great, then the new comic dropped. It keeps telling me that the image is missing, and it does nothing when I click download. Fix this please!
