Data does not load. iPhone 10iOS 16 frustrating.
Interesting and funny
I love the cartoons, adding humor to all the facts!
This is fantastic
The only this I think could be better is the formatting on tablets isn't as good as I could be but it still works.
The internet has exhausted
every question
Good fun
Love the breakdown and the illustrations
good
nice app works well.
Does what it is supposed to
Let's you read What If with very limited advertising, which you can pay to remove.
Too many glitches
The basic design is great. The ads aren't obtrusive or too frequently. If the app were consistently good enough that I could read the articles in it, instead of having to go to the website, I'd give it 5 stars. But it's not. Footnotes with non-ASCII text, footnotes with footnotes in them, and footnotes with math formatting in them are broken. Links inside footnotes don't work right. Image alt-text is often truncated instead of wrapped. Sometimes the footnotes are out of order. Sometimes links are broken. At least one article is missing half a paragraph and an image. Some of this may sound like nit-picky stuff, but we're talking about Randall Munroe here--without the jokes hidden in alt-text, math, silliness about accent marks, etc., what's the point in reading him?
The app is still good enough to read the majority of the articles. But, since it won't show me the article number or give me a link--in fact, it even disables the normal context menu so I can't copy text or links from the middle of an article--there's no way for me to read most of the articles here but switch to Safari when it falls down. Which makes the app pretty much useless.

Text won't scroll
Great content, if I could read it. For several months, the text has refused to scroll (on an iPad 3 running iOS 9.2). It's very frustrating to get only the first paragraph of an answer.
Beautiful
This app is great; I can always count on it for humor but I also learn from it.
Simple app - unreliable
Great content but app unreliable - often unusable w iOS 9. Scrolling broken, unresponsive at times - does not match the care of the author.
A+ for content
I love the reasoning and exploration of the many topics. I understand there is a new topic every week. Could this app be updated more frequently to include currently posted content. Perhaps during the same week? Keep up the great work.
Won't load, freezes
When I click on an article in the list it goes to a loading page and loads for several minutes before I give up and force close the app. All buttons are disabled within the app during this loading purgatory. App is useless for me as a result.

One of my fav apps, but...
This is easily in my top 5 apps, just behind xkcd, but it no longer updates. I've been stuck on "Spiders bs. The Sun" for 5 weeks now and the app doesn't have a refresh option. Please update, I have so many random questions that need overly scientific, definitive answers.
Vital trivia
Absolutely vital information and expert speculation which any human could well live without -but why would they want to?
Good
A good application. Some minor issues with the footnotes sometimes.
Cool app!
All the questions you always wondered about but didn't know how to ask them or who to ask that would know the answer!
Cool app
😀😀
Awesome but needs wawqftwii
I have the official book and this gets updated so it is awesome but someone needs to add the "weird and worrying questions from the what if inbox" cause those were really funny
Buggy
Lack of numbering makes finding your place difficult.
Noticeable bugs: sometimes numbers such as "3 x 10^12" show up as "I". Sometimes reference text bleeds into normal text and distinguishing becomes difficult.
