Description

Kudos to Randall, glory to all xkcd lovers.

This is yet another xkcd comics and what if articles viewer, while I'm refining it to become the best one, an easy and lite app with best in-app browsing experience[citation needed].

This app has so far:
- the best support to all those large xkcd comics. e.g. No. 657, 1040, and the toughest No. 980.
- native support for interactive comics like 1608, 2198, etc
- the best experience to read what if articles on mobile screen.
- the most fantastic list to browse xkcd archive.
- the quickest and most convenient way to check Explainxkcd, just hold and tap.
- the adorable favorite and thumb-up feature to your beloved comics and articles.

I am actively improving this app and related services, and it is fully open-sourced for every aspect of code on Github.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

5 ★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.
5 ★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.
3 ★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.
5 ★Probably the best xkcd app out there! Follows contemporary design trends, has a host of options, and is light weight and fast.
5 ★Looks great, and the ExplainXKCD integration is seemless. I especially like the variety of favorites lists.
2 ★I couldn't enlarge the images (poor eyesight ) the effort to create this non commercial app however is appreciated.
4 ★Functional enough, but the font choice makes it unusable on it's own imo
2 ★At least give me the option of turning off notifications instead of forcing me to do it via the OS.
5 ★Easily the best browser of the best web-comic ever!
5 ★better than mobile web variant
5 ★Good work on updates.
5 ★Works well
