    Remove tracking/Add option to disable tracking

    I am concerned that this software is tracking users without their consent, and without the option for users to disable this tracking. After reviewing the source of this application, I see that almost every event is tracked.

  • [Feature Request] Search comics including text

    [Feature Request] Search comics including text

    In the other XKCD app I have, I can search a phrase or text from the comic content itself, not just the title and it will find it. That would be awesome for this app! I even have an idea for how to do it.

  • Handle Interactive Comics

    Handle Interactive Comics

    Some comics aren't just images, they might be interactive pages or GIFs or some other stuff that we need to handle accordingly. First we need to investigate what these comics are and how to handle them. We should also use this area to keep track of any we come across.

  • Privacy

    Privacy

    Locking an issue like that is absurd. The issues with privacy on Apple software is as well documented as with Microsoft software. That is not relevant to the issue that I created, which you ignored the important part of. The important part of the issue was the tracking code itself, not with the tracking account.

  • Won’t launch

    Won’t launch

    Brand new install on iPhone X with iOS 11.4. A small comic thumbnail appears for a second, then goes away, then a dialog box shows up with: “Oops! Am error occurred while loading this content. Please check your connection and try again” I am on WiFi. Uninstalling and reinstalling haven’t helped

  • Swipe to move between comics

    Swipe to move between comics

    I always find myself attempting to swipe left and right when viewing comics on my phone, before remembering that the forward/back buttons are in the toolbar. A swipe-to-change-comics feature could be useful.

  • [Feature Request] Bookmark Comic

    [Feature Request] Bookmark Comic

    Add ability to bookmark so you can quickly navigate to a specific comic - i.e. if you are reading them all in order and want to continue where you left off.

    Imagining a bookmark icon on the comic screen itself, and a bookmark icon on the comic list next to the heart icon that when selected will scroll-to and open the last bookmarked comic... Only one bookmark would exist per app?

    [Feature Request] Filter by Read/Unread

    Hey there,

    Thanks for your work on such a terrific little project.

    I would love to see the option to show only unread comics, this way you can make sure you literally have not missed a single XKDC comic created.

    Thanks!

    How to do to make Cell in ComicListFlowLayout between horizontal and vertical gap?

    @mamaral Hi！

    I think inside the Cell to do clearance, this will happen asymmetric clearance, if within ComicListFlowLayout for horizontal or vertical gap will be more beautiful,

    Feature suggestion: Make Widget Clickable

    Would it be possible to make the app's widget (pictured) clickable? Simply so that clicking on it opens the app and takes the user to the current comic?

  • [Feature Request] The ability to reset images to unread, without removing favorites

    [Feature Request] The ability to reset images to unread, without removing favorites

    I would like to be able to reset my read comics to be unread, without removing my favorited comics (and cashed images), so that I can enjoy going through all of them again, and favorite any additional comics that I like.

    Currently, there is only the "clear cashe" button, which would remove all of my favorites.

    Possible solution: add another button (in the same menu that the "clear cashe" button is in) to "Mark all comics as unread"

  • No iOS 14 Widgets

    No iOS 14 Widgets

    The new iOS 14 supports widgets directly on home screen made using SwiftUI. This app should eventually support the updated widgets. Now that multiple different widgets (on top of multiple different sizes) is possible, maybe there could be “latest comic” widgets as well as “random comic” widgets.

Releases(v2.2)

  • v2.2(Aug 27, 2016)

    This version includes a number of requested updates including:

    1. The "alt" button has been moved from the nav bar to the bottom in order to be more easily reachable on larger devices.
    2. The sharing buttons have been replaced with a share button in the nav bar.
    3. You can now view a random comic from the comic screen, to quickly browse random comics for as long as you please.
    4. Tapping on the comic number on a comic in the list will now show the alt text for that comic, so users on larger devices that can read the full comic in the list don't need to navigate into the comic itself to view the alt text.
    5. You can now swipe left and right on the comic screen to more easily navigate between comics.
    6. Users are now prompted once (and only once) to leave a review - which would be really helpful to get feedback and further improve the app.
    7. Comics that are known to be interactive on the web are now displayed in a web view to help increase usability.
