Best HN app i have used so far.

Extremely fast and responsive. Links also open in text through readability so reading articles is very easy. Comment section is also very clear, and easy to see who is replying to whom. One suggestion to be able to log in and vote / comment which does not seem to be possible at the moment. However, if your purpose is solely to read the articles/comments, then this app is perfect.

Best hn reader out there

Simple, awesome and powerful. Enought said

Works great

I use this often at night and appreciate the different color schemes. Great work!

clean and simple

clean, simple and an efficient way to browse HN

Well done

This is a very well made app.

Works, but has a couple of big issues

First off, tapping directly on a link post shows it in some sort of simplified view, with a lot of the content stripped out. This causes me to have to tap on the link to see the actual webpage. Another issue is that swiping right to get to the post listing can be very difficult, and it can even get stuck.

Excellent

This is the first app I used to read HN on my iPad and havent bothered looking for another one because its so well written. Every update has welcome refinements to the feature set. The only suggestions for improvement I have are 1) in Appearance settings, make the font size continuously scalable (similar to iBooks) rather than having discrete point sizes (I suffer from poor eyesight) and 2) support left and right swipe gestures for navigating especially for going back from the internal browser to the article (you have to press Done at the bottom left).

This app was the best of the bad

... but now that it has Pocket integration, its official a good app.

Works

Ive tried a few HN apps. This one is the first one that didnt give me any issues.

Does the work. Cant wait for 3D touch.

A good way to browse my favorite news site. We need the popup preview with 3D Touch like Mail does.

Clear!!

Its easy to read !!

Very nice !

Easy to use love collapsing comments

Pocket feature

It would be awesome if you add "save pocket" shortcut to share section

Best HN client I found

An option to open in Safari would be sweet, though.

Great App

I use it every day. Great readability of featured content, I love nightly reading mode & collapse threads

Awesome application

I use it every day

10/10

Best HN reader Ive ever seen

Good

The best Hacker News app. Sometimes doesnt generate post preview showing instead "Something went terribly wrong".

Nice app…

…lacks a search feature though.

News aggregator
