There really is no other app that can show you SMBC without going to the webpage. You can reset the comic a number of ways that aren't quitting, such as pulling the bottom menu up a tiny bit and then letting it go back down. I've encountered the white blank screen like others have said but it's very few and far between. A great resource. ### 5/5 — Very good blank screen app. *2015-12-17* Finally, the app I've been looking for. A perfect white screen app, it drains my battery and has no ads. If you're looking for a blank screen, look no further. Most beautifully designed blank screen ever. ### 1/5 — This has to be a joke *2015-09-05* ... ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2014-11-26* I was so excited when I downloaded this app, but it literally doesn't work at all - just a white screen. Looks like others are having this problem too. Please fix it! :( ### 2/5 — Have to reload app every time *2014-09-04* Sooo there's no way to view another random comic other than exiting out of the app and reopening it? That's cool I guess... ### 2/5 — First ever review, but needed *2014-07-31* I downloaded this app yesterday (July 29, 2014) for my iPad and loved it! I never thought I would see all my favorite web comics in one place (hope to maybe see Cyanide & Happiness, aka explosm). However, when I went to open the today (July 30, 2014) the screen was blank—no comic displayed. I rebooted my iPad, deleted, then re-downloaded app and same was shown a white screen without a comic. Please fix this. I love this app and it's purpose, but how can I love it if it does not preform. Please take into consideration. Sorry and hope others have seen similar things. Thank you so much! Keep up the great work. Once fixed, you will get 5 states -David ## Frequently asked questions about smbc random ### What is smbc random? smbc random is a free entertainment app that displays a random comic from the smbc (Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal) series each time it is opened.
