The ads aren't obtrusive or too frequently. If the app were consistently good enough that I could read the articles in it, instead of having to go to the website, I'd give it 5 stars. But it's not. Footnotes with non-ASCII text, footnotes with footnotes in them, and footnotes with math formatting in them are broken. Links inside footnotes don't work right. Image alt-text is often truncated instead of wrapped. Sometimes the footnotes are out of order. Sometimes links are broken. At least one article is missing half a paragraph and an image. Some of this may sound like nit-picky stuff, but we're talking about Randall Munroe here--without the jokes hidden in alt-text, math, silliness about accent marks, etc., what's the point in reading him? The app is still good enough to read the majority of the articles. But, since it won't show me the article number or give me a link--in fact, it even disables the normal context menu so I can't copy text or links from the middle of an article--there's no way for me to read most of the articles here but switch to Safari when it falls down. Which makes the app pretty much useless. -- JHolzel, 2016-03-20 ### *---- "Text won't scroll" Great content, if I could read it. For several months, the text has refused to scroll (on an iPad 3 running iOS 9.2). It's very frustrating to get only the first paragraph of an answer. -- Thom-C, 2016-03-05 ### ***** "Beautiful" This app is great; I can always count on it for humor but I also learn from it. -- 98774, 2015-11-29 ### **--- "Simple app - unreliable" Great content but app unreliable - often unusable w iOS 9. Scrolling broken, unresponsive at times - does not match the care of the author. -- GregoryOh!, 2015-10-08 ### ****- "A+ for content" I love the reasoning and exploration of the many topics. I understand there is a new topic every week. Could this app be updated more frequently to include currently posted content. Perhaps during the same week? Keep up the great work. -- GIGObug, 2015-09-24 [View all XKCD reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## XKCD In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Bronze Level | $0.99 | | Silver Level | $4.99 | | Gold Level | $9.99 | | Platinum Level | $19.99 | ## XKCD Discovered Keywords -
