Comments on Hacker News for Android

★★★★☆ Dawserdoos Grahamcracker · May 22, 2025

Absolutely STUNNING way of reading Hacker News! My one major gripe, is my main reason for looking for a client vs. using my browser shortcut is Notification support... Add an optional notification feature and 5 stars for sure!!

Should add a dark mode geared more for OLED.

★★★★☆ Jason Keirstead · Mar 22, 2026

Fix the keyboard, so one can enter carriage returns.

★★☆☆☆ Konstantinos · Dec 28, 2025

Sadly a problematic app. After opening an article the app always gets stuck and there is no way to comment under another comment

★★☆☆☆ Domas · Oct 2, 2024

Design not bad, but news not filtered, I expect hacker news, not about sand or penguins. And small intro what about that post would be good, not you just see a title and its blind shot to open, optional images too (is someone would like to see). Here some tips, but now, 2 stars, useless.
