sohosakura II,
Just one little irritating bug...
Love this, thank you - I have just one problem, though...when I try to save my favorite comics, the app crashes. I can share comics & stuff, but when I try to save it I am unceremoniously kicked out. Any chance you guys could beat up the bug causing this? Thanks again! 😊

Reliable app...
There aren’t many apps I’ve had as solid as this one. A while back there was an issue with showing that comics had been downloaded, but the developer fixed that and it’s fine now. There’s a useful search function, and I love the ability to save or share comics. The only thing I’d ask for in the future is an option to star my favorites so they’re easy to find. A nice blue star would really help them to pop when scrolling and an option to show only favorites would make them so easy to find when sharing with friends. Overall, a great app. My compliments to the developer. I’ve designed and programmed apps myself, and this is some fine, solid, sleek work. Thank you for making it! :)

Not For Kids, But AMAZING
XKCD remains near and dear to my heart as one of my favorite webcomics on the Internet. While some language and themes are not suitable for younger members of our society, I would recommend it to literally everyone else. Also check out What If, it's done by the person who writes XKCD and it's equally funny and smart.

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.

Perfect App
Simple, no ads, does exactly what it advertises. Been using it for over 5 years and I've never had an issue.
ElNeuQ,
No distinct flaws
You can tell the creator of this app made it because they are a real fan of XKCD. I use it a lot and haven't found any real flaws. I really love it.
Everyone who writes a review,
Does exactly what it says on the tin
It's an app for viewing xkcd comics, and is better than the website version. As a fan of xkcd, I am grateful for its existence.
Galaga Fan,
All fixed! It's great!
The latest version fixed the zoom issue. Best app - again.
Repooc450,
Very nice
Fun and fairly easy to navigate. All it needs is a "save image" and "search" feature, and it's perfect.
UPDATE: the following features have been added since my review. However with the newest update the "save image" function causes the app to crash.

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.
