Still has problems with interactive features
Like the content, but the app still doesn’t work with interactive content
Also, the content hasn’t updated in nearly a week. The app has yet to catch up to the website.

Almost perfect
There’s a bunch of XKCD apps in the app store and numerous ways to read it online. This is the version I need, largely because it has Alt and Explain. Handy, but not necessary for me is rolling a die to go to a random strip, and the favorite heart is good for collectors.
In case you aren’t clued in to the charming extras Alt and Explain, Alt is simply the sub or alternate title you’d see online by hovering over the strip and Explain links to the XKCD wiki. I really felt like I was missing out when I used apps that didn’t include everything, even Alt.
Before you get your hopes up too high about the wiki, be forewarned that it’s both the wiki and discussion. Unless you’re a rare newbie, you know how well discussions can work, especially when there are, surprisingly, in this forum, members who are dumb as a stump. At least the conversations can be entertaining now and then and get me out of my bubble.
I said this is almost perfect. What’s missing is something I’ve been seeing too often lately and that’s the opportunity to link to anything outside the app.

Pretty good, could be better
Wish I had a way to sort by old and view all the unread ones from there. Also you can’t swipe between comics unless if you access them from the unread section. Still shows all the xkcds, though, so it’s pretty good
Most hilarious app ever
Great use of time. Makes my days better. Only app I am willing to take time to review, it’s that good!
Best XKCD browser
As the title says.
(Comics #827 and #1721 link to the same comic though, Randal changed the former's name after releasing the second because he named them the same, just change #827 to "My business Idea" to fix it)

Totally works
Works reliably, and includes any features I would want without any ads or nonsense.
Pure simple joy
I’ve enjoyed this app now for years. It reliably serves up the XKCD comic in a phone friendly format that’s easy to share.
So intelligently done
and hilarious. I Loved Pl having the words “Help! I’m trapping in a Universe Factory.” I may have the wording off. The use of the word factory next should normally be considered an entirely different sport is brilliant and deeply funny.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Great
I would like to see certain comics given support for, specifically 1608 (Hoverboard), 1975 (Right Click) and 1110 (Click and Drag), but aside from that, this app works a charm on my iPhone 7.
Great app!
This is a great app that I use almost every day. Everything is very well done and all the features are spot-on. The only thing I would like fixed would be zooming into a comic, it cuts out the bottom. Maybe you could allow a tap to hide the ribbon? Other than that, well done!
Simple and amazing. Dark theme?
This is a great app. Simple and effective. I hope the developers add a dark theme so I can read these at night without a white background behind the images.
Best xkcd reader on iOS
The only thing that would improve this app would be an option to store the images locally, for browsing offline. Other than that, it’s perfect.
Excellent!
Amazing design and delivers exactly what I want. Its not overly complex and the comics are updated daily. Honestly I don’t with anything else in the app besides maybe adding the what-if section. But I’m not complaining. This app is one of my daily apps! Good job!
Amazing App
I love this app and use it almost every day. I’ve recommended it to my friends as well. I do believe that the disappearing comic from 8/4 may have broken the updates
Read More XKCD
Fantastic open source app for reading XKCD. Beautiful look, easy to use, and still being updated. Glad to have found.
Amazing app.
Overall, this is an amazing app. It is already awesome, but It would be good to add 2 things:
Searching for keywords in comics
-If you could search for a word in the comic instead of the title, that would make finding them much easier.
JS Support
-Things such as the “emojic 8-ball” don’t currently have functionality in the app.
However, don’t get me wrong. This is a great app, and definitely recommend it.

Great App! One thing to fix would make it 5 stars
I love how easy it is to read xkcd comments on this app. The only thing keeping me from rating it five stars is that every time I try to save a comic as an image (to share with a friend for example) the app crashes. Other than that this app is superb!
Works pretty well, the save comic button doesn’t work
The button just freezes the app, I can just screenshot some comics but I would like to be able to save the really big ones.
Still has problems with interactive features
Like the content, but the app still doesn’t work with interactive content
Great but missing next and previous comic buttons
This was perfect for me, it had bookmarks and favoriting and a way to remember which comics you’ve already read. However, in the newest update, they’ve removed the arrows that let you move one comic more recent or one comic less recent and it makes the transition between each comic less fluid. 5 stars if only the arrows come back
