Great app, thanks! Two things though:
- xkcd doesn't work for me: [w] unknown:32 - file:///usr/share/harbour-dailycomics/qml/pages/ComicPage.qml:32:9: QML Image: Cannot open: file://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/xkcloud.png
- otherwise, could you download the strips directly while fetching for new strips, and keep them in cache until next day? Would be perfect for using in the subway!

I've just published a new version which directly download the strips and store them locally.
So no internet connection is needed anymore once you have fetched them.

xkcd stopped working for me about a week ago. If I choose it, I get a blank page.

Thanks, I've seen it as well. I think it's coming from a change of url format on the xkcd website. I'll fix it soon with the next release including new comics that people asked.

Unfortunately the application has not been accepted into Harbour for potential copyright issues.

Maybe changing the icon to something not infringing copyright would help? I doubt that the problem is in the content.

I've had a short mail discussion with them but according to their lawyer, I would need a license for such an app "distributing" these comics. And so they prefer to be careful with copyrights and not allow the app in Harbour for now.

So the content is the main problem. Indeed they also advised me to change to icon/cover images if it would make it to Harbour. But since it doesn't go there for now, it doesn't matter.

One of the most long-awaited native apps. Thanks. Any possibility to display older strips, not only the newest one?

Maybe this feature will come but much later. I prefer first to keep this app as a "daily" viewer where you spend the minimum time every day to read the new strips of your favourite comics.
