The app is no longer maintained, and there are several annoying bugs. I would use a different app.
Reliable and the dev is very responsive in the one time in several years I've been using it. Great stuff.
Great HN client, only broke once on me and developer replied within a few hours. Use it every day.
Now crashes when I try to reply, used to be great.
Crashes if I try to reply
Needs a widget!! Other than that, excellent app!!
Was looking for: open source, submitting stories to HN via android share, voting, sharing links/comments, and a pretty good UI. This has all those things. I usually read HN elsewhere (rss) but I wanted all the other features in an app so I didn't have to hop into a browser. This lets me do that now.
There have been several updates just plain breaking this app on a nexus 10. When it does work, it works fairly well.
It works fast, without unnecessary frills, doesn't lag. My only complaint ever is that when I return to list of posts it loses my position, otherwise it would be a strong 5 🌟
It takes you straight to the link and there no way to view comments. Update: I heard last issue was fixed so I installed again but it crashes when I try to comment.
Great information density and easy to use compared to the other fancy HN apps. Voting had been unreliable for a while now, however.
Kinda useless without them, waiting for a fix. Otherwise it's my favourite HN app! Edit: Now fixed, woo!
Fast and minimal with all the functionality. I've used other hn apps but I really like this one.
That.
Can't search. Can't submit. Sometimes can't login and have to reinstall to fix.
The only HN reader with Open in browser and no awful adverts.
But now it can't refresh itself
Best hn app for Android.
* when tap on an article firstly comments section opens instead of the article itself. * if orientation changes the article is get refreshed/reloaded * no caching is done through app, offline reading is not possible even the article is seen very soon before
Works great. When HN changes format it can break the app but developers typically respond quickly to fix the issue.
This HN reader has intiutive options and works well. The developers keep it updated so it's very reliable.
Not sure why, but this app no longer displays HN comments. No fix for a week and I had to switch to a competitor. Sorry.
This was the best for a while but upvotes no longer work, comments stopped working ages ago. I still love the interface but the app only half works. So sad. I'd pay for this to work.
Great app, my preferred HN client. Developers quick to fix bugs caused by HN changing their code.
This was a pretty good app, until I got around to updating it recently.
Really great little app that it's nicer than reading the website in a normal browser. One suggestion for improvement would be to nix the scroll bar in the comments section. My phone already scrolls when I drag my finger like most phones. Can't tell you how many times I have accidentally touched the scroll bar and zipped to a completely different place in a miles long comment section. Usually it is impossible to find where I left off after that.
