Thoughtful details

I really like little things, like convenient access to yesterdays best and weeks best. I also love the option to place controls at the bottom of the interface. Great for larger phones.

An excellent app for the iPad

This is the HN app I prefer. Does the job fast.

The best one

Ive tested them all this one is by far the best Hn app.

Sleek but..

Very clean and nice. BUT the safari web view wont load any webpage at all on my device, even when I press the refresh button. Might be fixed in a subsequent version? Also, launch time is surprisingly long: when I tap the app button, the iOS dashboard freezes for a solid second before showing a black screen. A little bit of polish on the sides would be welcome! Is it open source?

Update...

Yet another app destroyed by an update

Best HN app out there

What a great interface! This app is perfectly well designed.

Great

The new color themes from the website are still missing :/

Great

Easy to use UI

Nice!

Very nice and simple App.

Thanks

Super App for my daily hn readings. I would love it if you implement Instapaper support.

Works most of the time

Works most of the time and its better than surfing the ycombinator site with safari.

Very good

This is my favorite app for checking HN. It has everything I need, is very stable, clean and responsive/fast. Very good job by the developer! Love it!

Great user experience.

Best HN app.

Simple and beautiful

WYSIWYG

The best HN App imho

Have tried different apps.

Best HN iPad App

Thanks!

Annoying browser and minor ugliness

The design is slick and does the job. The comment view is really great and it is easy to get an overview of the discussion. The scrolling when replying or collapsing comments could be better. The browser defaults to an article view which works most of the time, but the built-in browser for the original page is really ugly.

Best hacker news reader

Downloaded all the HN apps and this is basically the best. Thanks.

Looks nice, some nits

I like how this app looks. It performs well, but its missing the iOS 7 back gesture, which is pretty annoying.

Works fast and interactions are smooth.

Best I have used so far.
