Worth the money but there are a few changes that would make it a 5* App

By Joulethief123 (Pcmac user)

After collapsing comment threads, if you leave the comments and then come back the collapsing isn’t persistent. AKA you have to recollapse each comment to get to where you were before. I absolutely love the swipe to collapse though and I think it’s a great feature. Another issue i have is that if you check your past comment and click on the comment it takes you to the thread but not the comment chain, making it really difficult to reply to people that have replied to you. If you click on someone that has responded to you, it only gives you the option to go to their profile. It does not link to their comment. The last issue that I think is the dealbreaker is that although there is a place to view your saved posts, there is no way in the app to actually save posts. I would give the app 3*s but I really love the app so i’m going to keep it at 4*. Keep up the good work homie.
Good, but could be improved

I tried to send feedback from the app, but pressing the Send Feedback button didn’t do anything so I’m writing on here. I didn’t like the ‘swipe to collapse’ initially, but I’ve gotten used to it and I think that it works well. One thing that I wish we could do is highlight text in comments so that we can use the builtin ‘lookup word’ iPhone feature. If you don’t know what I mean: highlight a word, then the black bar with copy, paste, etc pops up, press right arrow if necessary and click Look Up. My vocabulary isn’t that great and there are many HN comments that use words I don’t know, it would be very useful and instructive if we could look these up. Thanks
Not Great If You Like Commenting

I don’t see how this app can have 5 stars, it’s okay but it’s sorely lack in a few ways Bugs: Sometimes the keyboard won’t appear when writing comments, or does appear but in an inaccessible position. Easiest way to fix this is to close and restart the app. The automatic dark mode thing is a cools idea but almost never works correctly, switching apparently at random Missing Features: Push notifications, no notification to let you know that someone commented on your post or replied to your comment Replying to comments from your comment history. You can see replies in your comment history but you cannot reply to them, or even go directly to them. You have to navigate to that article, and find the comment all over again just to have a conversation. Saving articles. No way to favorite articles for letter (instead I have to clutter up my iPhone reading list) Comments are HEAVILY rate limited ——————————— Overall the look and feel of this app is good and if you don’t comment much then I highly recommend it. If you do like to make comments and have conversations then try one of the other App Store offerings until features are added to this one.
It's ok

Header link not click able again, apparently. Also it seems impossible to respond to some topics. Can't quite narrow that one down though, only thing that I can determine is that it might be related to the size of the post.
