User Reviews

Overall, XKCD: What If? Reader delivers strong, humorous content with illustrations and a clean, easy-to-navigate design. Ads are unobtrusive and can be removed. However, recurring issues affect the reading experience: iOS-specific scrolling and loading problems, brittle footnotes and formatting (including broken links and non-ASCII text), and outdated content due to infrequent updates. The core content is appealing, but performance and update reliability need attention.

Pros

High-quality, humorous, and informative content with illustrations
Clean, simple design and easy navigation
Ads are limited and optionally removable

Cons

Scrolling and performance issues on iOS (unreliable scrolling, lag, long load times)
Footnotes/formatting problems (non-ASCII, math formatting, broken links, misordering, truncated alt-text)
Content updates infrequent or stale; no easy refresh option
