★★★★★ Saurabh Yadav · Sep 16, 2021

Finally, some good competition to materialistic. Please provide option to change font in reader mode. Also change line spacing.

★★★★★ SOFTWAREs DEVELOPER · Oct 13, 2023

If you unsure who can help you with full access into any target device remotely and secretly. I can only recommend MALWAREHAcklord ©©® Gmail c0m for full hacking, tracking and unlimited monitoring into target device remotely and secretly

★★★★★ Nick · Jun 26, 2022

Very nice - would be really cool if you could allow other apps to parse the link title. For instance, I'd I share a link from Materialistic (hn client), Telegram and Gmail will automatically parse its title. Would really appreciate this feature in Hack!

Hacker for hacker app, Genuineprohackers 🤙 atgmailxcom is always on standby to provide excellent hacking, monitoring and full tracking service of any device regardless of there location without them noticing at all ...get access to location, password to Al apps on phone and even call log and deleted messages

★☆☆☆☆ Nick Searle · Jun 21, 2023

One star because the swipe to go back feature is extremely annoying and can't be turned off unless you pay.

★★☆☆☆ Robin O'Neill · Mar 6, 2024

Recently bought the premium and it's quite buggy. To the extent it has stopped opening. Not great

★☆☆☆☆ James Kellett · Dec 12, 2021

Ugly UI and a bit awkward to use. Settings to try change the look are locked behind the pro version so no idea if it can ever look usable

★☆☆☆☆ Paras Pravin · Mar 20, 2025

The second is very costly and my brain is out of the speech on zero-star rating :).

★☆☆☆☆ Afsat Oluwaseun · Sep 24, 2022

This is a foolish app I just wasted my time and data I just nonsense
