Takes dozens of taps all over the reply text box and even then only actually brings up text entry mode maybe 20 of the time     Impossible to trigger keyboard when replying robkumd
Used to be good now it can take almost 10minutes to open the app     Poor KEY-TREE
The navigation buttons are being overlaid by the phone s status icons on the top The back button for instance is rendered very closely to the clock on the upper left corner     Navigation buttons on iPhone X TheAppJedi
Bug fixed works great on X now                     Great app
Header bar looks awful on iPhone 7 after update Elements are overlapping crammed together and hard to tap                     looks bad on iPhone 7 benissimus
So happy the developer updated it for the iPhone X Easily my favorite HN client Thanks                     Updated for iPhone X charleszink
I ve used this daily for well over a year It s an excellent hacker news reading companion especially now that it has iPhone X support                     Perfect App for Hacker News Scribs
Simply great Have been using it for years now thanks to the devs                     Great app great iPhone X update xixixao
So glad to see this application is getting some attention from the developers I use this app and it s web counterpart to browser Hacker News everyday It s the best HN app I ve been able to find so far and I hope it stays around for a while                     Best HN app Arthur Tyukayev
thank you for iphone x support great app                     thanks Kxc0
Attempting to view comments on iPad while in split view crashes the app It seems that if the app has enough room to show the comments and list of submissions it works fine                 Just a heads up Potatotatoatoatoato
I would gladly pay for this app some improvements that come to mind iphone X support when sharing an article it doesn t display the title in messages messenger etc unlike when sharing a link directly to hacker news                     Great app Iphone X support please Ben_unique
Excited when I saw an update finally but still no iPhone X support         No iPhone X support /dev/zero/99
Commenting feature is terrible and drains battery faster than it should However theme customization is nice and text rendering from articles is nice             Visually nice otherwise lacking MC Brevity
Great app have used it everyday Would definitely pay for                     Great app jimmyhawkins
Swiping behavior is very flaky and frustrating While scrolling it seems to register taps in intermediate locations         Frustrating controls amake
Love this app But recently it started crashing It doesn t display comments anymore and clicking on a comment crashes the app instantly I suspect this might be due to recent hacker news changes related to comments I tried to find developer s contact but couldn t find Writing this review in hope of developer seeing it and fixing the app                 Started crashing recently Vin443
I really like little things like convenient access to yesterday s best and week s best I also love the option to place controls at the bottom of the interface Great for larger phones                     Thoughtful details JeffVyd
The colors text make this an unpleasant headache inducing reading experience The developer should consult with a designer         Difficult to read twof1sh
This is the best Hacker News reader out there Trust me because I ve downloaded all 15 of them                     Best HN app LeafFanatic
would be nice to be able to browse my saved submissions                 good
I love keeping up with what everyone out there in tech are getting into without some site bloated with ads and from writers who arent actually getting their hands dirty The app update has been nice added some decent features but engaging in comments is still a little rusty compared to some social based sites and apps out there                 My daily go to app
Allows selecting text in comments to get a definition for example Visible actionable URLs of the original page and its HN post Welldone convenient way to collapse a comment with its children Very usable All the kudos Used to allow to easily open in Safari original pages and HN posts including comments to reply or keep tabs on for example but this is broken for a while now No upvoting or downvoting functionality Swiping left to navigate back and swiping up to scroll glitch frequently           Somewhat broken lately
Search and logincommenting would be nice But it does most things pretty well              Not bad
This is the best one Any limitations are due to the API and not the app itself Good job                 The best HN reader currently
This app is fairly good As others have said scrolling back to the main list is completely broken Also comments sometimes stop loading until the app is closed and reopened           Good for the most part
I use this client every day its very clean elegant and free                 My favorite HN client
Use it everyday                 Go to news source
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                 Best HN app in the App Store
Swipe back to the article list takes a lot of effort to get right           Nice but has UI issues
Works great on iPad                 Awesome
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 reopening it        Ads showing every once in a while
Just perfect for reading HN Night mode is particularly slicklooking                 Leagues Better Than the Site Itself
Definitely the best hacker news app Easy to read comments and view links and its free                 Best hacker news app
Comments wont load                 Comments wont load
I prefer viewing HN on a browser to this buggy thing Lots of issues some links to a webview of hacker news     Flawed very flawed
Best free iOS client available                 Best free client
great app I like the option for black background collapsing threads and reader view It has problems loading when there are a large number of comments I wish there was a history so I can go back to older stories              great app
Very well thought through there is an option even for switching to bottomonly 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                 Undoubtedly the best HN app out there
Good news app                 HackAllTheThings
Good              Good
Love the app Well developed and easy to use As a software engineer it helps me keep up with new stuff out there                 My primary source of quality tech info
Great for poops                 Baller
I dont think the author even tested this before releasing Its better not to have a feature than one that only works An eighth of the time     Swipe to go back gesture is broken
Aesthetically this is gorgeous It adheres to such a nice design language and its exactly why I installed it in the first place Unfortunately the developer has decided to basically build this application using some sort of wrapper instead of natively Its hugely obvious when you attempt to swipe backwards and the emulator simply stutters and fails a dozen times before you give up A for design F for technology choice     Beautiful but severely flawed
In recent versions the edgeswipe behavior has changed for the worse making it very frustrating to use this app on my iPhone 6 Plus        Frustrating controls
Ive tried many and this one is the most fully featured and stable Just needs the ability to vote and flag and it would be perfect              The best hn application
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                 Seriously the Best Developers Information Hub
I like this app because it is simple and easy to use                 Easy to use
Inspired me to write my own Mac HN client MackerNews                 Great app
All the Hackers News apps look the same from the outside This one is the one to get                 Fast uncluttered access to your tech fix
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                 Everyone in a tech field should have this app
iOS 8 scrolling bounces around when going left right              Good but plz fix scrolling
Swipe to go back leaves the pane stuck in the middle of the screen The readability parser fails most of the time Impossible to get a link out of it to share to a friend sends you to the online version of the app instead Touch targets are far too small     Pretty but broken
Best HN client and its free                 Awesome
App works well its easy to use Navigating between story and comments should be a bit more clear The main thing I wish the app supported is the ability to swipe anywhere to navigate instead of having to scroll to top to tap the back button              Solid app that needs a few tweaks
Slow     Slow
Love the dark theme Makes it much easier to read                 Great reader for hacker news
Gets the job done                 Simple Nice
Its great that they enable commenting and login but there are some significant flaws to usability 1 Posting a comment your comment wont show 2 Swipe back wont actually navigate back regularly the card youre swiping will usually just fall back into place so you get in the habit of using the back button in the menu bar           Works but semi problematic
Has all the features that I want in an app                 Complete app
I use this everyday to get caught up Its a stellar client program My only annoyance is in the way that the swipe to go back gesture is implemented You have to really really put a lot of effort into the gesture or otherwise the view youre trying to swipe away from will just spring back into the foreground              Great app One critical UI interaction could be improved
Get all my HN on the fly and works perfectly              Nice simple app
Nice way to satisfy your hn needs on your iPhone                 A fine app
Seriously though its pretty good                 1010
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     Dont beg for reviews
I use this app daily Its a perfect source for me to keep up with changes and new discoveries in my field of work                 A great app for programmers
I keep accidentally opening the popup menu or scrolling horizontally and getting stuck Can you look into this for the next update              Scrolling
What I read in between sets at the gym or when waiting in line for a cappuccino                 Goto
What else could you want Also great theme support                 clean simple fast
