Here's what's in this free app: no ads, dark mode, very fast loading, intuitive controls, solid search, useful options with no unnecessary bloat...this is a case study in excellent app design. Sure, it's a simple task, but it does its humble job flawlessly and that's surprisingly hard to find. Well done, author - keep up the good work! Maybe give some pointers to the companies spending millions to make much shittier apps.

Thank you for your review, I'm very flattered. It is xkcd that keeps audiences amused, and me motivated to refine the app.

Have used the app for 15 minutey, already absolutely love the it. I will change to 5 stars as soon as there is a random button (shaking is very akward). Another idea: dark mode for comics as well: map the white background to dark grey and the black to light gray (not just invert the comics). Also I am missing an option to download all comics for offline access. Edit: maybe move the date to the middle and put a shuffle button to the left to keep the symmetry. Otherwise fair point.
Hi, thanks for comment. This app is kept simple to not divert our attention from Cueball.
An awkward hidden button on lower left which is the date, click it to do a random time travel between comics.
Invert color is the cool feature of another app easy xkcd, I respect this idea and its effort behind, sorry I can't take it.
Offline is difficult.

EDIT: Immersive xkcd reader app with lots of interesting features which, taken as an individual technical achievement, is exceptional. However my personal use-case is that I just want to see the latest comic and then be shown a random selection of comics when I'm waiting for a bus or on the loo, therefore the lack of a "random" button is a problem for me (shaking is a cool function, but awkward in practice). I suspect this may be an issue for other users too, hence this review and feedback.

Edit: for latest comic, push notification or long press the right arrow on top bar will bring you there, I hid many actions like this, and they are truly awkward. I will try to make it adorable with a expandable menu or so. Thank you for using this app and feedback.
