### 4/5 — Useful & quick

*2011-05-29, version 1.1*

This app isn't meant to read all 1500+ pages of a comic strip, it is there to be able to read the newest strip in the morning with a quick coffee before work if you don't have time to have a look on the computer before you leave - and for that it works brilliantly.

### 3/5 — Dust covered basement of the app store library

*2011-05-11, version 1.1*

Disappointed with the neglect of the app, it's a great idea and I enjoy it, but it's buggy and slow, and there is a lot of wasted opportunity for added features. I will probably continue using it, but only for comics I am all the way up to date on, so I don't have to sift through them or deal with the hassle. Features like displaying alt text, jumping to a specific page of a comic, and saving your place, along with debug and update would definitely make this at least a 4 star, more comics or the ability to add your own easily would bump that to a 5.

### 4/5 — For those who love comics

*2010-12-23, version 1.1*

Great app

### 4/5 — a little buggy

*2010-09-29, version 0*

could do with a patch here and there but otherwise makes for a great FREE web comic reader

### 2/5 — Alright

*2010-09-10, version 0*

An ok app, better if it didn't crash so much, had a bookmark function and a landscape mode.
Would never load penny arcade for me.

### 2/5 — Misleading

*2010-09-04, version 0*

In the image preview you have ctrlaltdel... Where is it?

### 3/5 — Great Idea

*2010-08-09, version 0*

It could be made a lot better by a few simple improvements such as saving your place when reading comics and you switch to a different one, a random button, and a list of all the comics so you could skip to a certain number.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2010-08-05, version 0*

It's the best webcomic viewer I've found, and it introduced me to DogHouse and Amazing Super Powers, which are now two of my favorite webcomics. Improvements could be made, as others have suggested, but for a free app, this is quite good.

### 3/5 — Good start

*2010-08-04, version 0*

App should really remember which strip was last viewed so that you can read back through a series without losing your place.

Would also be nice to see a landscape mode and a touch of spit 'n' polish.

### 2/5 — Good idea, poorly executed

*2010-08-02, version 0*

It's a good idea, but it has many flaws. xkcd doesn't display mouseover text. It constantly crashes, and it would be neat if it could add the RSS feed of an unsupported comic.

As for the crashes, I'm running iOS 4.0.1 on an iPhone 4, and whenever I go from the comic page to the list of comics, it crashes.

### 3/5 — Ok...

*2010-07-31, version 0*

This shows the comic strips, takes about 6 seconds to load new comic strips with bad Internet connection.

I was disappointed that you can't view the web comics offline after you already viewed them.

For the next upgrade please make it so we can view comics offline when we viewed them already! 

### 1/5 — LameSauce

*2010-07-30, version 0*

Seriously? This app doesn't do landscape mode and the comic graphics don't fit the screen unless you pinch every single page. It's dumb. don't download it. This is an app made with absolutely no innovation. No consideration for the user nor the author of the comics. 

Lame/Sauce,

Fergie-booty

### 1/5 — Penny Arcade doesn't work

*2010-07-18, version 0*

This appears to be a consistent issue and the developers apparently do not care to fix the problem. Following the link to their website has no ability to report a bug, just lame marketing.

### 3/5 — Pretty good but hangs

*2010-07-10, version 0*

Pretty good app, but it hangs when it can't find the next/previous comic, for example the approx 60th explosm can't be found.

### 3/5 — Great App, but...

*2010-07-05, version 0*

I see in one of the screenshots it shows Ctrl+Alt+Del, my absolute favorite comic which is why I downloaded the app, but it's not on the list. Seriously, what's up with that?. Also there should be an add/edit/remove option to take away comics you don't read, add new ones, and change the order the list is in.

### 4/5 — A simple few stips from perfection

*2010-06-25, version 0*

•interface?
•save comics
•faster updates (not possible but still I can wish right?)
•you can't possibly supply everyones favorite comic so I suggest making a database made by users
•penny arcade needs fixed
•I would easily pay $1 if it meant these things

### 3/5 — Good, but...

*2010-06-17, version 0*

It needs an update so that if you close the app, you start in the comic where you left off!!! Please follow up on this!

### 3/5 — Good but needs fixing

*2010-05-20, version 0*

I think its a great app, but it needs a few changes. First, you should either be able to see all the comics (from one provider) in a big screen that you can scroll down like in your photos. Either that or just have a "last seen comic" option. Also, i love reading it, but Penny Arcade doesn't work. The loading circle thing appears then just goes away and it's a white screen except for the ad at the top. Otherwise great app! Cyanide and happiness is HILARIOUS

### 3/5 — Ok

*2010-04-29, version 0*

But penny arcade doesn't work

### 2/5 — Not great

*2010-04-28, version 0*

Not enough comics and adds!

### 1/5 — sigh.

*2011-05-05, version 1.1*

yeah it is a free app, but you know what? it's been neglected. for over a year and a half. the dev's have completely abandoned this web comic app, and it was so promising too. their are adds, bugs, glitches, and not to mention slow. if you scroll down on the last release, it was in 2009

2009!!!!! it's two years later. just ignore this app. the developers don't care if you get it or not. there hasn't been a single update since BEFORE the iPhone 3GS even came out!

I hope one day this app will get an entire redo, but I'm not going to waste my time.

*app; deleted*

### 1/5 — Rather crappy.

*2011-03-27, version 1.1*

Doesn't save your spot, and crashes pretty often.

### 1/5 — This bites

*2011-03-14, version 1.1*

This app stinks on toast it takes forever to load has adds even though that's what it's supposed to be. Penny arcade doesn't even work. Whoever writes this needs to either upgrade the app or start interviewing for a job. Prefferably not in computer design. Don't even waste the drive space.

### 1/5 — Doesnt work

*2011-03-12, version 1.1*

Wanted pa but wont display. Cool idea, if only it worked. :/

### 1/5 — Doesnt like penny arcade

*2011-03-09, version 1.1*

Downloaded this to read penny arcade and it doesn't seem to want to. Also wouldn't let me use landscape mode (not sure if that's even supported). Overall a good idea but needs way more work.

### 1/5 — This is crap.

*2011-02-05, version 1.1*

Crashed 3 times before I read three comics, and Penny Arcade doesn't appear. To the maker of this app: don't quit your day job.

### 1/5 — Kills QC's (Jeph Jacques') income!!

*2010-12-30, version 1.1*

Jeph (and his wife) BUY GROCERIES using the income from ads on his website, QuestionableContent.net

He has stated repeatedly that any software which *blocks* or *removes* these ads is STARVING HIM.

If you're going to make a mobile-friendly version, please WORK WITH HIM (and other webcomic artists) to ensure they can still *MAKE A LIVING* from *DOING WHAT THEY LOVE* (their life's passion).

Don't remove these ads.  It's the artists' lifeblood, and the only way they pay their bills.

### 1/5 — Dont waste your time

*2010-12-09, version 1.1*

Frequent crashes, Penny Arcade does not work, and Ads. Just visit the your favorite web comics site and give them the page views and ad revenue. Not the makers of this broken app.

### 1/5 — Good idea, poorly executed

*2010-09-10, version 0*

The lack of landscape viewing, the frequent crashes and Penny Arcade not working were enough to get this deleted immediately.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2010-09-07, version 0*

It crash 3 times in the 45 seconds I used it before it was deleted
