Description
One often overlooked feature of many webcomics is the mouseover-text joke. This Title attribute of the comic provides an extra punchline or commentary when hovered over on a PC. This is sometimes also called the hover text, alt text, or title attribute. This viewer lets you get this text on your mobile device by just clicking on the picture. This isn't just for webcomics, it can be used to view the mouseover-text on any page.Use Tips:
*Click on the mouseover-text text to dismiss it.
*Long clicking on the picture will make it that the mouseover-text will be shown or hidden by subsequent long clicks.
*URLs can be sent to the webcomic viewer by sharing them from the browser or another application.
*The app has a list of some comics with mouseover-text and will autocomplete them. If you have suggestions to add to the list, send me an email!
*Googles input if URL not Found
Limitations:
*This will not work 100% of the time. Pages that do unusual scripting may not load correctly, or may not properly display the mouseover-text. If you find a page that doesn't work, send me an email with the link.
*Android 1.5 does not handle the long clicks correctly and seems to be more finicky about working with some sites.
*Some links from Google will not work, for instance dinosaur comics due to redirection issues.

The only way to read alt text This app is great for reading the alt text in some web comics. None of the popular full-featured browsers can do that.

Broken on 4.1 Crashes when loading page on nexus 7. Also not tablet-optimized, blurry and gross.

Works well but... Worthless without a bookmark option

Needs favorites! Needs either a favorites option or a webcomics list - all good otherwise

Needs a favorites list The main reason I use something like this is to keep a list of comics I read. If this app had a favorites list it'd be perfect.

Just a browser, but not a thieving one! It's a basic web browser that appears to be optimized for images. But the selling point? This app appears to properly read ads on the artists' websites and doesn't appear to insert its own.
