Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

xkcd by Randall Munroe is undoubtedly *THE* king of all nerd comics. Every single of those are exclusively made for the community that appreciates it. And only thing that was missing was the way to read xkcd and lighten you up, while you're stuck in traffic was lack of a mobile app that I tried to build. With simple swipe and tap based intuitive navigation, it would be a pleasure to read xkcd anywhere, anytime. Download and enjoy xkcd.com comics on move now, and share with your friends across social media. Reviews and suggestions are most welcome. ### Controls ### Swipe left to see next comic Swipe right to see previous comic Double tap to load a random one
