Hey,
The other day, I released Refresh for XKCD, a new Material Design XKCD reader for Android. It's currently in alpha, and I'd love to hear feedback from the community about what you think of it, and what I should add to it.
Here are some screenshots of the app.
The app is card-based, and each comic gets its own dedicated comic page, where users can read the caption for the comic, as well as an unofficial explanation of the image from explainxkcd.com
Along with these features, users can select a shuffle button in the action bar to view a random comic and can share comics from the comic's page.
Version 1.1 was just pushed to Google Play a few minutes ago, and should be available within a few hours. The new version adds support for zooming in on images, so if you feel like its absent from the app, just wait a little bit and it should be ready for you.
If you're interested in testing out the app, you have to do a few things:
1.
Join the Refresh for XKCD Alpha Google+ Community.
2.
Visit this link to sign up as an alpha tester through Google Play.
3.
After signing up, you can download the app from here. If the page says 'item not found', try waiting a few minutes and try again, as some users have reported a slight delay.
If you want, you can also head over to /r/refreshforxkcd on Reddit to stay up to date on development, as well as suggest features and report bugs. I'll probably be checking the subreddit a bit more often than the Google+ community, so I would highly recommend any users who are interested in the app subscribe.
Thank you in advance for anyone who tries it out! If you have any feedback, don't hesitate to post it in any of the aforementioned forums, or in this thread, and I'll do my best to get back to you as fast as I can.
