Best HN reader I've used

By Mark Demarest (Pcmac user)

Love the app. Had it for a long time. Light & fast. Only issue is saving to Pocket from the share sheet. Crashes the app every time. And I save about 15% of what I read to Pocket, so it gets super annoying, fast. But I still love it and use it multiple times per day. 💯 (I'll change this to 5 stars one that minor bug is fixed 🙌🏼)
Great for Viewing HN

By Gonzofish (Pcmac user)

This app is great to read and browse HackerNews but being part of the discussion isn't an option since there's no login method. I'm not sure if that's a mode of the HN API or how the app is designed. I enjoy the aesthetic and find the comments easy to follow. This app has actually made me look at HN more than I used to too.
Needs update for using full screen size on newer phones

By engineer3003 (Pcmac user)

This was my favorite the app news app, but it needs a bit of TLC. On the iPhone X and newer phones it doesnt use the full screen size, and it started to lock up frequently for a few seconds, before it becomes responsive again. I will update this review again when these things are resolved. I’d like to get back to giving this app 5 stars!
Solid HN app from lurker perspective

By Strung Out (Pcmac user)

I'm not a power user so I can't speak to that experience but I do casually browse and this app is perfect for that. If you just lurk like me and just like reading the content and maybe a few comments occasionally, this app is perfect for you.
