Great!

Would love to be able to search for stories. Doesn’t seem to be an option at the moment?

Neat and easy to use

I really like this app. It does just what I want. I have a few minor suggestions. In addition to Top, Ask, Jobs, and New add a category for “Show” which filters for all the Show HN threads. Also, how links are selected needs to be changed. While scrolling down a thread it’s too easy to accidentally select a link because it’s activated on “tap down”. A link should be activated on “tap up” so that if I accidentally tap on it and keep scrolling it doesn’t navigate to the link. Other than that, this app was exactly what I was looking for.

Beautiful, simple and it works :)

A joy to use on my iPhone 5. Looking forward to an iPad compatible version. BTW - love the update with the option of a dark theme.
