Great app, great developer App works perfectly for what it was designed for. Developer fixes bugs very quickly.
★★★★★
Fantastic! Does exactly what any self-respecting xkcd fan needs it to. I don't have a single complaint. Would gladly have paid for it if I had to. GREAT JOB!
★★★★★
Almost perfect The auto-zoom could use some fine-tuning, but otherwise this is terrific. So much better than trying to read the comics on the web page. And thanks for adding the "explain" button!
★★★★★
The excellent xkcd comic but more convenient when travelling.
★★☆☆☆
Mostly Works It does not display animated GIFs. The interface is mediocre.
★★☆☆☆
Not Android design Doubletaps, swipes, etc. Generally do not work as expected on Android. Also steals the back button.
