Octal for Hacker News

This app has been for a long time my bedtime companion, a daily favorite. A few days ago the developer introduced a new layout which, while I can admit a majority may prefer, did not please some users, myself included, because all of a sudden it changed the UX significantly. Upon feedback from some users, very quickly a new version was published and the new layout was added as an option instead. I wouldn’t even mind to have the new layout as the default. So that was great support, kudos!

I always loved HN but it was annoying to use the website, this app does what it supposed to do :) no bloatware nothing absolute game changer 👌

Stuck on loading indicator

I think this is a good little app. Sadly though it highlighted the individuals using App Store analytics as a day job being involved in a very serious stalking campaign. Have three identified- one uses identity at Facebook PickleRick and targeting a woman I do not know on OpieAnthony forums. Google, Apple, Facebook insiders confirmed. Even a Shell guy. Gettting paid to harass people while doing their day job. Physically violent in numerous cases. Once app was installed they started changing user names on their ycombinator comments. What would appear to be a bit of fun gaslighting is actually quite serious with some human casualties. At least it is fundamentally clear the individuals involved have Apple Store install tracking and cross platform tracking ability. This really needs to be looked into architecturally and procedurally by Apple. Nestled in this group of folks changing names for comments is someone doing quite a lot of physical harm. Apple product security email has done no response on existing reported issues trying to get traceability for a police report as most of the situation is so odd it is hard to believe without facts and logs. Yet it is happening. I really need to identify the parties tracking my app installs. Like a lineup. I would surely be able to identify them if I had their true identity, I know enough about them. They really need to be incorporated into a law enforcement report. Reporting “anonymous” goes nowhere. It is a pretty horrifying drugging and violence case in my case, citing disinformation as motive. The app itself was decent. I like aggregated tech and security news.

This app is very well made with one issue: when refreshing the feed, the refresh indicator stops immediately, but the feed itself doesn’t refresh until seconds later. The indicator should be active during the full refresh time.

This app was one of my best purchases, I use it every day without issue. Would recommend.

app is very responsive and designed well. only a couple minor issues with it 1. occasionally you get a “something went wrong” message when trying to edit or vote, and it would be nice to have a better understanding of what exactly the issue was 2. you can swipe back but can’t swipe forward! sometimes i accidentally swipe out of an article or comments and there is no way to instantly return to the view i was just on, meaning sometimes you have to re-find the article in the list and scroll through all the comments you’ve already read. please implement a swipe forward/return to last view!

Perfect app for reading hacker news.

:)

Great app but I have to leave a 1 star review because I paid for the app on iPad os and I have to pay again for the iPhone version? That’s unacceptable, I will give a full 5 stars if my purchase is enabled on iPhone as well
