5 ★ Out of many HN apps I've tried, this is clearly the best. The dark mode reading experience is incredible. Please don't change anything in the UI design. However, you could add a font size config. Text is too small on my phone...
5 ★ Beautiful and distraction free. All the articles load perfectly in both plain text and rich web page without switching in and out of in-app browsers or external as some of the other HN apps.
3 ★ Very beautiful, but very basic. needs support for sorting by new, past, comments, etc along with support for logging in, voting, and leaving comments.
4 ★ Love the minimalistic design + night mode. Perfect app to read. Though it would be nice to be able to login, upvote and comment.
3 ★ Beautiful design. But I wish there were more features like sorting by date or searching.
5 ★ The best Hacker News app out there. Intuitive and minimal interface, readability and dark theme are perfect! Please add font size choices.
3 ★ Look great! But comments don't load when there's a lot? Unfortunately limits the usability since I mainly read comments
4 ★ Overall great app. Could use a few more features for reading, namely the ability to collapse comments
5 ★ UI is minimalist which is a huge plus and the UX is also great as the app starts instantly and everything just works.
5 ★ Great app. It would be better if users can change font and font size.
5 ★ Really good! An option to load the web view for each article by default would be useful 👍
5 ★ elegant design and loads faster than any other hn apps
3 ★ Nice reading mode indeed. I miss hardly the feature to vote, comment and edit comments.
2 ★ Nice app, but the link to the privacy policy is broken. Please clarify how you are using user data.
3 ★ Nice minimalistic GUI, easy to use and dark mode, a bug prevents me from reading comments 200 posts and up. 🤷♂️
