Hacker News Android

Login is broken. Everything else good

Good

Great UX, fast and reliable, full featured

Nice app but would be better with a search function.

I've been using this for 6 months+ In the last 2 months, it's started crashing daily. It also lists the same article multiple times when scrolling down. I accepted this until today, when I tried a different hn app and so far it's faster, more stable and more consistent.

Starting a month or two ago, it thinks every story has no comments, and the story date is confusingly put in the story score field. So the app isn't worth using until its scraping code is updated for the latest version of the site. At least when it worked, it had good UI for browsing stories and comments, such as supporting collapsible threads. And viewing stories with it was fine.

can't login (even with the latest version that reports fixing it), stories are repeated, and app crashes more than any other app used. it would be nice to be able to export the bookmarked stories.

I can't log in. I wish I could because the rest of the app looks great.

Used to be great, but now comments won't load.

Login is broken. Everything else good

Still using the app to read news but comments are not loading anymore with new version.

Good

Cannot login

Love the new look, best HN app out there!

In the app when first 30 top articles are scrolled through, the next 30 articles ( article number 30-60) from the ycombinator website get loaded into the app.Now when i want to scroll further and want articles 60-90 to load , articles 30-60 REPEAT AGAIN. AFTER THIS REPETITION, article number 60-90 get loaded. This repeats again in the next load. i.e. same page is loaded TWICE in the app every-time. Fix this bug. Also the color scheme orange never shows.

PRO: Awesome interface (minimalist and gray) and shared URL in clean, not embedded. CON: Can't login.

Decent

Broken

Could not login. App says wrong username or password.

Could not log in.

Best hacker news app on android

Nice clear layout, and allows login, voting, commenting and voting on comments. Just what I was looking for. It does have the option to open pages in an external browser, so I guess the reviews that say it doesn't must be for an older version.

I think this is the best hn app clean interface, usability is great, android ui patterns ok. I have tried them all and I think I will I stay with this one.

Just open links in Browser.

Good app, but the browser zooms things in too far and doesn't let you zoom out. Very annoying.

I really like the UI of browsing stories and commenting, but there is a problem with viewing links: you can't view links in an external browser, only in the inline browser. This is a problem because 5 out of 8 pages I viewed were zoomed in too far and couldn't be zoomed out any further. Also, there's another bug: open a story's comments directly, switch to the story, and then switch back to the comments: now the comments won't load until you exit to the story list and view the comments again.

could you please find another way to open link/comments? Being asked every time is annoying as hell. Also, on my GNote when I try to open a topic the app loads something else entirely, really annoying.

Crashes when I scroll down fast on the main screen. Android 4.1 Galaxy Nexus

Seems solid enough, though only the title of articles is clickable so it's a bit cumbersome.

API failures when logged in, also cannot turn to landscape mode

Nice reader just needs settings and font options.

Entirely amazed

I tried the top 4 HN apps in the play store and this seems to be the best at the moment. The other apps had problems either with refreshing the comments page or couldn't comment or couldn't upvote. So far no problems with this app.

Fresh updates and now Pocket integration!

Clean UX, beautiful UI, can vote, comment, infinite scroll. Tested them all and it's the best one.

Open and simply the best! And most important to me, it does not use some impoverished in-app browser, but just my favorite one on the phone!

Love the new look, best HN app out there!

This is one of the few apps which support login functionality. This is the only app which looks nice and even beautiful. It's the only app which have notifications. It's the fastest and smoothest. It doesn't reload the news list when it doesn't need to.

I like this one among all the different apps I tried. Keeping it. Tried on multiple versions of Android and the UX is the same / consistent.
