doesnt ask for any permissions to use, no personal info or email address needed to create accounts. Respects privacy rather than doing what is the norm: giving u a "free" app or account, which uses special permissions u give it to gather info about you and sell your info to advertisers. You are for sale so the app can be free. That is a little backwards. Love it when u install solitaire or something and it wants permission to see ur contacts, photos, location and the soul of your first born child. #rant

The last update has made replying in app an effort in futility for me. When typing text is extremely laggy (think typing over ssh with a 2k ping).

K70%
by K####:

It looks awesome. But doesn't load half the time. Snappy, but button placements just don't make sense. It's been good.

K70%
by K####:

Scrolling articles is smooth but switching between panes is a bit jerky on my One Plus One and needs optimizations. The UI is sober and really nice.

K70%
by K####:

Decent app for reading HN, but the errant 'No Internet Connection' overlay led me to uninstall. Have to close, kill, then reopen the app constantly to rid of it.

K70%
by K####:

However, it mostly shows "unable to load content" now. And this problem seems to be getting worse.

K70%
by K####:

Absolutely great and simple HN client, have yet to find one able to replace it. Solid, good offline caching, design may be a bit dated but if it isn't broken don't overhaul it.

F70%
by F####:

Interface is clean, but very clunky. It is also not easy to get to the comments for an article.

K70%
by K####:

As per the feedback below, would be good to have an open-in button; sometimes the inbuilt browser just doesn't work.

T70%
by T####:

I've been using the mobile site version for years, my favorite way to read HN hands down

There's a bug on the login page no text appears in the text box when typing. I'm on a Pixel

Q70%
by Q####:

Perfect set of features. Reader mode for most articles, lets me choose app colors and fonts, with absolutely no BS. One of the few actual apps I keep on my phone (rather than using the site).

K70%
by K####:

The app looks good except when I'm reading an article or being on some comments and I lose the phone network, I go back to the list of articles. It's very annoying when you're in the middle of something.

K70%
by K####:

Ugly and boring fonts

H70%
by H####:

Was great, but all of a sudden I'm getting lots of application errors about missing some asset - so it's now pretty much unusable for me.

Q70%
by Q####:

Trim the white space for login username and password.

Q70%
by Q####:

I like the app a lot but I have one issue with it. The annoying connection notification. It keeps telling me I am not connected while I actually am connected. It would be awesome if I could just disable it.

Q70%
by Q####:

All the app's functions lag, whether it's opening the comments, a story, the settings, or even just reloading.
