Broken for any iPhone that X or newer

david.jade

On an iPhone X or newer the top bar and menu is completely inaccessible. This app needs to be fixed.


Hangs and doesn’t load content

m'beer

Lately has been hanging a lot and never seems to be able to load the minimized content anymore, also have to load in an external webview


Great but most stories no longer render

Tedd4u

My preferred way to read, but most stories no longer render. Any way to fix that? Would love to boost back to 5 stars. Thanks for this app. Also definitely willing to do one time purchase to help support you.


Major regression

Jujustan

I love the app. Especially the reader view that loads webpages really quickly. Unfortunately the app has been freezing lately when I switch back to the app. Also the picket integration stopped working since I re-installed the app - I keep getting a 501 after authenticating.


crash

ar918

i have noticed that it hangs twice on my 7+! using the latest version! btw, thanks for the great articles


Lose article

iWatchApple

I lose the article as soon as I open the app after it has been running in the background for a while. Really annoying


Freezes several times per day

WillTheCoffeeGuy

Great, simple app but it freezes several times per day even with little usage. Very annoying.


Decent app; needs updates

JoBrad

Used to be one of the best HN apps. Now, doesn’t retain my login. Needs to be badly updated to fix glitches on iPhone X+.


Commenting broken

Vhiremath4

Love this app. The reader being a web view by default would be nice since it’s often broken in the app. Other complaint is that comments and comment replies are broken.


Just uninstalled

I had been using this app for over 2 years until I recently uninstalled. It doesn’t render articles in-app anymore and it freezes constantly, so basically it doesn’t offer any advantages over just going to Hacker News in a browser. The developer either needs to release an update or take it off of the App Store.
