What people like
- Really fast and smooth interface
- Great built-in story summaries
- Totally free with no ads
What they complain about
- No login to upvote or comment
- App resets when you switch apps
- Long links get cut off
Top HN App at a glance
Just downloaded 6 HN apps and added a Safari link to Home Screen, and this is the “quick test” winner for all-around features and design. Impressive first reaction.
Buggy
The app always loses its state when you switch to another one and then back. This makes it pretty much unusable.
No user features
Pretty app, but you can’t log in and vote or comment. The support link is broken by the way.
Good app ruined by poor UI changes
Recently the story details have moved to the bottom. This is not a great change. I wish it was optional and was a preference. Would be 4 stars otherwise.
Broken links
Nice app, however long links are cropped hence most of them will not work!
The
App
Good bug needs love
Links in comments don’t work, they’re truncated with …
Broken links
Almost perfect, but links that are too long get truncated, not only do they look shorter, the actual link is cut off as well. So, to open any long links you have to open the original HN link and find the comment from there.
Amazing app. 1 catch
If there were a way to upvote/ comment within the app itself - that’d be amazing. I’m not sure if HN exposes these APIs though.
Great start, one suggestion
The story detail bar takes up a ton of space pinned to the bottom of the screen while reading comments. Can you add an option to place that above the comments list so we can scroll down past it?
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
Great, with one new issue
A great app, but the story summary bar has moved from the top to the bottom in the most recent update. Please make this a preference, rather than forcing this quite major change! Another issue is that URLs that are abbreviated/elided now do not work - the underlying hyperlink has been shortened as well as the displayed text. This was not previously an issue.
Edit button…
Doesn’t seem to allow me to edit anything.
Using it everyday
Very delightful using it!
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.
GREAT APP
Certainly the best iOS hacker news app. Would be cool to be able to link an account so you don’t lose everything. Also commenting would be cool but I don’t mind. Really love the UI, although some more options would be cool. Wish you the best and hope that you keep this alive.
Sleek design and nice customizations, but missing an important feature.
This is one of the very few good looking, smooth and customisable Hacker news apps. The icon options are great too. I like that it’s developed on SwiftUI. The text and comments are nicely formatted. It has the convenient swipe gestures throughout. One complaint with the design is that the pinned story comes in the way while browsing the comments. I wish it had a collapse button. Another minor gripe is that it takes 2 taps and a gesture to start searching. And, the search itself is very limited. It’s missing comments search, filters (date) and sorting. The Summarize, Read time estimate, Groups and Read history are great features to have. However, the big miss is the HN account integration and hence the ability to comment, upvote, etc. Hope a future update to the app brings this feature. I’m more than happy to pay a reasonable price if these features are implemented.
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.
Can’t comment
A very nice app only let down by the inability to add comments, would have been 5 star otherwise.
The best HN client for free
So this client has all the features paid HN clients have with snappier design and functionality. Thanks developer!
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.
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!
