Great, with one complaint
By Shoeboxam (Pcmac user)
I greatly prefer reading articles with the normal page rendering, and would prefer they be presented that way by default. On any given HN article, everything from the page formatting, to the labels, the icons, the font, etc give a mental frame to what I'm reading. Taking that all away via "Readability" is disorienting. I'd really appreciate an option to choose the default page renderer.
Aaand, I'd gladly pay for it.

Started crashing recently
By Vin443 (Pcmac user)
Love this app. But recently it started crashing. It doesn't display comments anymore and clicking on a comment crashes the app instantly. I suspect this might be due to recent the app news changes related to comments. I tried to find developer's contact but couldn't find. Writing this review in hope of developer seeing it and fixing the app.

Great app, Iphone X support please! :)
By Ben_unique (Pcmac user)
I would gladly pay for this app, some improvements that come to mind:
-iphone X support
-when sharing an article, it doesn't display the title in messages, messenger, etc, unlike when sharing a link directly to the app news

Best HN app!
By Arthur Tyukayev (Pcmac user)
So glad to see this application is getting some attention from the developers. I use this app and it’s web counterpart to browser the app News everyday. It’s the best HN app I’ve been able to find so far and I hope it stays around for a while!
