Comments on Panda for Hacker News for Android

★★★★★ 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!
★★★★★ I wish every app was as fast and responsive as this one. In the future I'd love to see a login feature and a light mode alternative theme.
★★★★★ My favorite Hacker news app at the moment. Actively updated. Clean, easy to use UI. Ability to change fonts/themes would be great to see in the future. Would be nice to be able to distinguish which articles I've already viewed also. 11/01/21 - Glad to see this back on the play store. Looking forward to updates.
★★☆☆☆ Really wanted to like - was looking for a HN client with a similar interface to Relay for Reddit, and this was the closest I found - but it kept crashing on me when I tried to swipe back to the main page.
★★☆☆☆ "Try swiping left on one of the stories below." aaaand it crashed. Seems unusable for me.
