Great but fix bug

Please fix the thing where the ones that are interactive don't disappear from the unread! Otherwise love the comic and app!
Cool, man

There are so few things that walk on the line between ‘stupid-funny’ and ‘intellectualism.’ This did it. This is the crux of all that I stand for.
Outstanding

I've used others previously. This is by far the best xkcd app I've seen. I use it regularly.
Pretty darn good

Having a back button on the browser that opens with the explain link would be nice, but I guess we don't need it. What _is_ missing: 1. Uh, the comic search is case-sensitive? It's kinda funny because none of the text even renders in a font that distinguishes cases. 2. On that note, I think I'd like the title text displayed in a regular font. That is, after all, how it displays on the site. 3. I realize this is a tall order (and that I'm using review to give suggestions to the dev), but if we're on an xkcd.com page in the browser, could you give us an option to open that comic in the main app again? Thanks. Anyway, great app. Fairly light, very simple - definitely gets the job done. Thanks!
Aggressive first-run experience

This looks like a really great app, but I had a hard time getting past the experience of launching it. The very first thing I saw was a request to send notifications (what for?). This was followed almost immediately by a request for a review - and not using the iOS review request control. I maybe had time to read one comic in between. I may settle into this app as I keep using it, but it’s been a rocky start.
Excellent App

Thank you very much for providing an excellent app for viewing XKCD and for the extraordinary step of not making us look at ads!!!!
Please add support for @2x comics

Hi! Your app is amazing because it allows access to the best webcomic there is, but Randall has been offering Retina versions of the comics since 1084. Please see issue #74 on github! Cheers
I never miss an XKCD now

One feature that would be great would be if viewing a new comic on my iPad cleared the notification from my iPhone (and vice versa). I wind up having to view the comic on every device. Not that some of them aren’t worth a second look :)
