Comments on Harmonic for Hacker News for Android

★★★★★ Farzad Ehtemam · Mar 10, 2024

The app is great, but I don't understand why they changed the icon. This icon does not show the harmonics while as the previous one showed 3 harmonics. At first, I thought this icon showed one harmonic that was slightly shifted to create a copy, but it actually shows no harmonics. Neither of those copies is a correct sine wave. But the app is really good, and it somehow updates itself, so I don't have to. Thanks for building and sharing it.

★★★★★ Akin Sowemimo · Nov 8, 2024

This is a rare incredibly well-built android app that follows the native platform design conventions, is well animated, and works fantastically. Kudos to the author

★★★★★ Marcin Morys · Jun 1, 2025

Excellent, clean reader for Hacker News. The UI doesn't get in the way and makes navigation intuitive.

★★☆☆☆ Brock “tekchip” Hatfield · Aug 17, 2025

Recently the comments have stopped loading. The following error occurs. Loading failed AP| Server error: This is most likely due to the Algolia Hacker News API which Harmonic uses being down. Historically outages for the Algolia AP| are limited to a few hours, but they can last longer. Prior to this the app was excellent. How to revise this back up to five. Wish there been a more ready way to report bugs.

★☆☆☆☆ Thomas Shaver · Jul 27, 2024

Looks and feels great, but it's shady. I keep getting a "bad login" error and so can't do anything other than just read. Whatever it's doing for an internal Web View seems to be a part of the issue as when I tried to sign in with Google through that I got a page saying it's an insecure browser. So, that's interesting, and I won't be reinstalling.
