Comments on Hacker News Android for Android

★★★★★ Best HN app I have found. Nice clear layout, and allows login, voting, commenting and voting on comments. Just what I was looking for. It does have the option to open pages in an external browser, so I guess the reviews that say it doesn't must be for an older version.

★★★★★ Great browsing/commenting, hard to read links I really like the UI of browsing stories and commenting, but there is a problem with viewing links: you can't view links in an external browser, only in the inline browser. This is a problem because 5 out of 8 pages I viewed were zoomed in too far and couldn't be zoomed out any further. Also, there's another bug: open a story's comments directly, switch to the story, and then switch back to the comments: now the comments won't load until you exit to the story list and view the comments again.

★★★★★ Best Hacker News app for Android Clean UX, beautiful UI, can vote, comment, infinite scroll. Tested them all and it's the best one.

★★☆☆☆ meh, but more features than the rest can't login (even with the latest version that reports fixing it), stories are repeated, and app crashes more than any other app used. it would be nice to be able to export the bookmarked stories.

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work API failures when logged in, also cannot turn to landscape mode

★★☆☆☆ 1 annoying thing could you please find another way to open link/comments? Being asked every time is annoying as hell. Also, on my GNote when I try to open a topic the app loads something else entirely, really annoying.
