I’ve used Hacker feed for years now. It’s reliable and simple. Lately I’ve been craving the ability to interact more, things like upvoting and replying to comments. Maybe even posting. If there ever was an update to the app it would be amazing to see these features. Another small suggestion -> if you click on a HN link within hacker feed it opens it with the integrated browser rather than opening the page within Hacker Feed. It’s nicer browsing and reading in hacker feed. Edit - would you be open to pull requests if your users wanted to add the features that are bing suggested in the comments? I see there are some more people asking for updates.

I installed all the top Hacker news readers in the App Store and came to the conclusion that this is the best one. The only feature I am missing is reading history. Aside from that this app is amazing!

I want to preface this by saying that this is one of my most used apps. Thank you for making it, releasing it for free, AND not including any tracking bits. However, recently I’ve noticed an increased delay in loading times when selecting “Open HN link” . Not sure if it’s the app, the recent phone update that coincided with the delay, or something on HN’s end. It goes away if I try to reopen the same link moments later. Thanks again for the awesome app.

The app is light weight. And its easy to use as the HN site.

I tried every single HN app and this one is the best (even better than trilby which is my 2nd fav but loses to this because the in-app browser of it is worse than here). Excellent! A common issue other HN apps have: you want to swipe back from the comments to the main page but the app thinks you are swiping a comment to comment it or interact with it... This app gets UI right, thanks!

Been using this reader for HN ever since Reddit’s API pricing ripoff for small devs. It’s sleek, responsive, minimal, and intuitive. Wishlist: HN account login for comments, upvoting, and saving posts.

Simple yet effective app! Probably the best interface for HN.

Once I've opened a post and go back, that post should become greyed out. As it does on the website. Also bottom bar could disappear as you scroll. Otherwise app is great.

The app is very intuitive and easy to use. A suggestion from my side is to add a search bar for searching specific keywords
