Despite the lack of functionalities to the point that it seems like a half baked release, the user experience is actually second to none. It's kinda like a diminished Relay for Reddit clone for now, still I can see its potential to become to full blown killer app. Hope there's going to be a pro version to show my appreciation for your quality work and future commitments. Keep it up.

It's been time for a better hacker news reader on Android! This one looks very promising already. I'd appreciate some way to distinguish and filter only new articles, as opposed to read articles or articles scrolled over earlier. I think this might be a valuable feature for many.

I don't know why my previous comment disappeared. This app is very neat, the only problem is that when switching to other app and come back immediately, the article will reload every time.

The app is great. However, it doesn't seem to be able to correctly open a link to the specific comment (I monitor HN best comments and usually click from there). It'd be great to see this implemented

Great UX! It just works, which sadly enough can not be said about most of the other hacker news clients. Many of the other hn clients crash, comments sometimes fail to load, and the ease of switching between comments and the article is usually a couple buttons away. This app is so much more intuitive, and it works the way you expect it to. Even the animations for the article to move to the bottom make it obvious that you can scroll up for comments. Thank you for this!

Very responsive, with great functionality. I'm so glad I came to look for a new HN reader. I had one that served me well for many years but had not been updated. This one is great! One small request, I see App Themes are coming but could you add a simple s,m,l font size setting soon? The text is a bit small for me. Let me know where to send a donation!
