Reliable

Simple and reliable. Thank you for no ads.

Unnecessary permissions

Recently it requested permission to connect to other devices on my network, this is completely unacceptable for an app like this. I can only assume this is for invasive and intrusive analytics and telemetry gathering, which is very gross. This app would otherwise get a five star.

Honey I swear, it’s not Hinge!

Great app. Just be careful using it late at night!

Nice overall with small complaint

Very nice app, looks very polished with black mode. One problem — the app is too sensitive to sideways movements when scrolling up or down. This results in either the left or night options being pulled from the side rather than actually scrolling. I’ve never experienced this on another app so don’t feel it’s just the way I scroll? It enough creates minor friction with enough frequency to move to another app unfortunately.

cozy app to browse hacker news

W updates keep it going man thank you.

Literally the best Hacker News app

It’s not even a contest. This is it.

Used to be good, lately very buggy!

This app was almost perfect, and a great way to read and interact with hacker news.. However lately it’s been a mess. The share link it’s getting duplicated and finicky. The recent issues loading post and the bug “fixes” don’t seem to be working (it’s still not loading for me) has sent me off to find something else.

No reason to use

Worse than the mobile version of HN
