So here's my take on xkcd - comics viewer. I've tested a bunch of comic reader apps and this one's pretty solid. The design is clean and easy to navigate, and I like how it handles the bigger, more complex comics. It's not as full-featured as some other apps, but for just browsing the xkcd archive and reading the articles, it works really well. Honestly, my only real complaint is the ads, but you can pay to remove them. Overall, it's a great app if you're a big xkcd fan like me.

Description

Been using xkcd – comics viewer for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you read all the xkcd comics and articles. Pretty solid if you’re a big xkcd fan like me.

Here’s what you can do – there’s a huge archive of comics you can browse through, and you can even read the interactive ones. Plus, it’s got a section for the popular ‘What If?’ articles. Took me a while to figure out the Explainxkcd feature, but it’s super convenient when you need a refresher on a comic.

Look, if you’re into xkcd and reading comics on your phone, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the ads can be kind of annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.

Exactly what I was looking for! Easy to scroll, fitted to screen, able to jump to where I was. It's perfect, thank you!

This app is great, though it seems it can no longer view what if articles other than the first one anymore. Hopefully that can be fixed

Simple, easy to navigate, and no ads. Perfect. It would be nice if there was a way to send a donation to the app creator!
