Good, but small annoyances and one big bug
Mackeyja92
Overall this app is very good! Thank you for making it. Ok, on to the the things that need to be fixed. First and foremost, sometimes clicking the back button freezes the app and makes me force close and restart before it becomes responsive again. This is super annoying and has happened 7 times in the last 5 minutes. Secondly, this one is less of a major issue but more of an annoyance. It’s really hard to upvote a comment without it collapsing it. I have to try 3-5 times before I actually am able to click the upvote instead of collapsing. Thanks again for the app. Hope these issues can get worked out.
The best iOS HN client

Only app I’ve reviewed. This one is good. It’s really clean, intuitive, & full featured, and it is ad free. Honestly this is how iOS apps should be. Absolutely an upgrade to the website on a mobile device.
Slick app with all the features you want

The most advanced app I’ve seen with great support

After checking out more then 5 different apps HACK ended up being the winner. BONUS - I stumbled on a bug where “procrastination feature” would result in blank pages, developer was very responsive and added feature to roadmap.
A gem of an app

This app is designed with iOS design patterns in mind and is a joy to use, kind of like Apollo for Reddit. I don’t pay for an app unless I really think the developer deserves it and I think I’m gonna bite the bullet and purchase the premium for this one.
5 stars until the app froze

Tried a few hacker news clients, this one was most intuitive to use. Gave it 5 stars until the app froze after sending a few links to the browser. Hopefully the problem will get resolved soon.
Best so far

No purchase needed, no ads. Probably will pay the $5 to support the dev, though, because this kind of functionality is rare for ios apps without either ads or in-app purchases. Quite the hidden gem. Lots of settings to choose from. I especially like being able to select the text of a comment to copy by long-pressing on a comment, and from there, there are a lot of options, including copying the text as a whole, or selecting a certain part of the text as it pops up with the options. Now will look for other apps made by this dev! Edit: decided to purchase, it’s worth it
Awesome app

This is the best HN app I’ve found. The developer is super responsive, the app is very well designed, and even the non-premium app is very full featured. I of course recommend going premium to support amazing people like Pran!
