Hacker News Reviews
Quick feedback / suggestion
Great app, I use it all the time, but I do have a suggestion - under groups, the “read” section takes too long to load, particularly if you have over 1000 to 2000 previously read articles. It’ll be nice if this section could only load the last 10 to 20 articles that have been read, with a button to load more if necessary. When you open and switch to another app, the Hacker News will reset, and sometimes you lose track of where you were you were. The “read” section is a good way to quickly get back to what you were looking at, but again the issue is that it will take at times 30 seconds to a minute to load.
Well-made app but doesn’t respect browser choice
Regardless whether this app is set to use Safari or In-App Safari it opens articles in In-App Safari, which is a bit annoying since In-App Safari doesn’t allow certain extensions nor does it add to my browser history. Would also be nice if it supported other browsers. I’m posting here because support is through Twitter which I don’t use.
Great HN reader
The best HN ever used. Would be nice to be able to export saved items
Using it everyday
Very delightful using it!
Polished HN Client Missing Login
This is probably the most polished HN client for iOS but it’s missing user login so you can’t upvote or comment. If it has that it would be the best in the App Store.
By far the best HN app.
By far the best hacker news app. The summary feature is amazing. BUT it lacks login. I still need a second HN app where Iogin and posts from. Really wish login would be supported.
The best HN client for free
So this client has all the features paid HN clients have with snappier design and functionality. Thanks developer!
Simply love it
I have used a lot of HN apps and I feel like this one might stick .. it has all the things I look for - no ads - fast read/ summarize options .. only thing that lacks is login option
Sleek HN Reader
This is to HN what Apollo is to Reddit. With tons of customization possible, it’s tough to beat. Keep up the great work!
