Does what it says on the tin
needs a favorite button :)
Excellent app
Does a great job. Simple and effective.
I still use this app daily
Great app, really clean and minimal
Great
Very good 5 stars also it is very good and did I mention it is very good?
I think it needs a be fix
One of my oldest apps. Straightforward. Made before all the crap they add into apps now. Great work. I think it needs an update though. New comics are not loading as of 9/13/21.
Keeps it simple. 👍
Of the XKCD apps out there this is the simplest and it does exactly what it should: shows the comics and Alt-text in a straightforward view that works really smoothly.
I stopped using the app because of the 1248 bug; I’m delighted that the bug has been fixed and I’m back to my regular XKCD updates. (+1 star to Paul for patiently responding to my bug reports and updating the app!)

Great for mobile
I love this app. Lately there’s a small bug that seems to crash it when using the arrows to go to the next comic, although that’s only happening for me in comics numbered 400-405 or so.
Soap Box
The app has little to offer to make it worth downloading. The creator RM stopped being funny and had too many agendas that he wants to push on his readers.
10 Years
I’ve had this app installed on my iPhones for 10 years. The only thing I wish it had were notifications when new comics come out.
Praise too late?
I love this app (and XKCD itself). I've been using it to see the comic strips every Monday, Wednesday and Friday since forever. I've never left a review and I should have. So sorry, and thanks devs! But am I too late? Is it being deprecated? No new comics have been added for the past week or two :((( Come back! Don't leave me this way!

Still the best one
Was worried this week when I realized it hadn’t loaded any new comics in a while, but somehow after over ten years the developer is still finding time to support his old free app as soon as problems arise.
About as feature-complete as it could be, and while it doesn’t support the few interactive comics that have appeared over the years it does a solid job with the rest of them. Search functionality is surprisingly effective, and will check titles, hover-text *and* a transcript of all text within the images themselves, which is fantastic for trying to find that one comic you remember the punchline to but really want to show someone.

Thought is was dead, it ain’t
I thought the app had died (comics wouldn’t load past 1248, dev fixed it. Yay!
Perfect App
Simple, no ads, does exactly what it advertises. Been using it for over 5 years and I've never had an issue.
Love this app! Just ONE FEATURE REQ!!!
Love this app! It’s up-to-date, simple and easy to use. Just one request: can the app PLEASE NOTIFY ME when a new cartoon is published???
Goodish
The app works but won’t show more recent comics.
Doesn’t load on new phone
I just got an iPhone X. It won’t load anything past comic 1248.
Decent app
Has been reliable in the past, but now it will only display comics up to #1248.
Solid
Reliable, dependable, does exactly what I want it to
Basic Basic Basic
First time I opened it I was shown a plain list of numbered titles… starting in the 1200 range. The current comic at the time of this writing is 2102. It gave me a loading symbol… and pulled in a couple hundred more. Not even up to the latest though.
