Not Great If You Like Commenting

I don’t see how this app can have 5 stars, it’s okay but it’s sorely lack in a few ways Bugs: Sometimes the keyboard won’t appear when writing comments, or does appear but in an inaccessible position. Easiest way to fix this is to close and restart the app. The automatic dark mode thing is a cools idea but almost never works correctly, switching apparently at random Missing Features: Push notifications, no notification to let you know that someone commented on your post or replied to your comment Replying to comments from your comment history. You can see replies in your comment history but you cannot reply to them, or even go directly to them. You have to navigate to that article, and find the comment all over again just to have a conversation. Saving articles. No way to favorite articles for letter (instead I have to clutter up my iPhone reading list) Comments are HEAVILY rate limited ——————————— Overall the look and feel of this app is good and if you don’t comment much then I highly recommend it. If you do like to make comments and have conversations then try one of the other App Store offerings until features are added to this one.
Abandoned...? Really not sure
swrobel
Never get responses to support requests and months later still no native dark mode support. Pretty disappointed.
Broken and abandoned. Switch to Octal!

This app crashes on launch. Switch to Octal.
Best hacker news client. Better than web.

Great UI, great adjustable font size, automatically changes theme based on lighting situation. Worth all 200 pennies.
Needs true black mode

This just needs an option to have the dark theme be true black for iPhones with OLED screens.
Good for reading, CANNOT login
Sepi!
Unable to login, constantly receiving a “network error” with the correct credentials. Otherwise, app is good.
“Send feedback” doesn’t work

No way to favorite a submission which I personally use a lot, and the “send feedback” button doesn’t work so I have to write a review here to let the author know.
