XKCD Comics Viewer is a simple viewer for the popular comics of xkcd.com by Randall Munroe.
The app initially only stores the information about comics to provide you with instant search option, the images are downloaded on-the-fly from the comics webpage. You can store every comic image locally for offline browsing or download all images to your computer.
The app provides support for common Windows 8 integration features, so you can easily share the comic content via email or pin it as a tile on your main screen. Besides, you can store the comic image to your image library.
The animated live tile of the application shows the latest comic. If you allow the application to run in the background, the tile will be automatically updated with the latest online comic every 60 minutes, unless you don't have an internet connection or are using a metered one.
All views (overview, year group view, individual comic view) support snapping mode. You have the full support for navigation while snapped, but must unsnap the app to get the zoomed view on the comic picture. You can zoom out on the overview screen for a better view for single year groups.
The search pane provides the flexible search over the complete comic data (titles, comic text, transcript) for the stored comics and provides you with search suggestions using the 500 most often used words. The suggestion index is rebuilt on every update.
Sharing the content is possible for individual comics and comic groups. Sharing of individual comics provides the complete information about the comic along with the link to the xkcd.com webpage. If the comic picture was downloaded locally, it can be shared as well. Group sharing will provide you with a short list of comics in the group with titles and links to xkcd.com.
Individual comic view provides the complete information on the comics, including its title, picture and supporting text. Where available, it also provides the detailed text-only transcript of the comic.
From the individual comic view you can download picture for single comic. Upon download you can either store this image in your picture library or pin it to your main screen. The pinned comic tile shows a small comic picture, the detailed comic view is opened once you click or touch it.
