Ratings and reviews

Seems to be working reliably and is perfectly good for reading regular comics. It can't handle the special ones at all, though I'd at least like some indication since it's usually just a blank square. Small bug also, the Random Comic widget doesn't seem to work at all, it's just nothing. The Latest one works fine.

Pretty nice app, it's probably the best way to view xkcd and What If? on your phone. Now I don't have to boot up the computer to read them anymore. This app lets you download all the comics and articles for your viewing anywhere. And, the developer is quick to respond to reviews if you have any problems with the app. This is totally worth your time. If you want to read xkcd and What If? on your phone, this is the best way.

I used to use the "xkcd Browser" app, but I had one problem too many with it. This one definitely has some improvements, and I'd recommend it to anyone coming over from that one. About the only thing that I miss is that there doesn't seem to be anything to show that a comic has an additional link, such as with #2276, but maybe I just haven't found it?
