good

would be nice to be able to browse my saved submissions.

My favorite HN client

I use this client every day, its very clean, elegant and free :)

Fast, uncluttered access to your tech fix

All the Hackers News apps look the same from the outside. This one is the one to get.

Dont beg for reviews

If you put functionality to compromise your app by begging for 5 star reviews, you get a 1 star rating. This is a horrible dark pattern. If I feel like rating your app, I will do it on my own time. Uninstalled.

Undoubtedly the best HN app out there

Very well thought through, there is an option even for switching to bottom_only navigation for bigger screens : very cool from what feels like a pure programmer app. Has not been behaving that smoothly on ios9 : but I anticipate an update soon

Everyone in a tech field should have this app.

Its as simple as the title says. The articles syndicated by hacker news are they key discussions for anyone in a forward facing IT industry and they are beyond entertaining. HackerNews is truly the DrudgeReport of IT and Science.

My primary source of quality tech info

Love the app. Well developed and easy to use. As a software engineer it helps me keep up with new stuff out there

Seriously the Best Developers Information Hub

I use this app daily to learn and expand my understanding from everything about software development to politics. Its user generated content through a submission and voting process. Give it a shot if youre a developer who is just learning!

Best HN app in the App Store

Im a daily HN reader and have explored a myriad of HN apps on the App Store. I can firmly say that this is the best.

10/10

Seriously though, its pretty good.

Ads showing every once in a while

Was a great app until recently when it started showing full screen ads when first launching which you cant close until completely killing the app and re-opening it.

HackAllTheThings

Good news app

clean. simple. fast.

What else could you want? Also, great theme support.

Frustrating controls

In recent versions the edge-swipe behavior has changed for the worse, making it very frustrating to use this app on my iPhone 6 Plus. The back button doesnt even work half the time.

Best HN App for iPad & iPhone

Its not perfect, but better than the others. In fact, its actually pretty good. Free. No ads.

Lets you log in

Great app! Has everything you need and allows you to log in, which is very rare for free HN apps. I really like this one!

Must have!

Very nice app, easy to use, nice appearance.

Great app

Super simple, does everything you need. Makes reading HN on the iPhone easy

My favorite HN reader

Love everything about this app. The comments are what makes HN and this app organizes them nicely. I know its probably an API thing but it would be nice to be able to post comments from inside the app.
