Hackerful - YCombinator's Hacker News Reader App Reviews

The only HN app you need.

A couple months ago the app stopped loading the articles from the list. Please fix.

This app didnt even load it just closed after 2seconds I rate it 0 stars if I could

Really good app, but the non-ad version is a little costly for me. This is still worth dealing with the ads.

This is the first and only Hacker News iOS app Ive discovered that supports logging in, commenting, and seeing new replies to your comments.

i really like this app for catching up on HN, but one great improvement would be offline capabilities. caching recent articles or even being able save them locally would be wonderful. i know this is no small task, but it would further separate this app from the rest. i would even pay for that feature as an addon. ;) keep up the good work

Both functional and beautiful. I wanted to buy and support the developer, but $4.99 too much, sorry

Paid to unlock full functionality but I cant even login. Emailed the developer several times and no response.

But the currently non-functional login hurts its overall rating.

Its good for reading but I cant login. It says server error every time I try. iPhone 5. iOS 6.1.4

This is unfortunately the best hacker news app which is a shame because its mediocre at best. The reader is just a web page so theres no full screen reading mode like reddit blue and considering the entire purpose is to read that is awful. Also logging in will forever give me a "server error".

Nothing beats this app for reading Hacker News. Totally worth it.

Ive enjoyed this app on iPad and iPhone for some time, and like others have found it to be the best HN experience. That said, the recent update to iOS7 seems to have broken comments: I can no longer read them (entries are empty.) The comments make HN, so I really miss them. 4 of 5 stars until they come back to this otherwise great app.

I cant sign in to HN and I cant see any comments on articles. I just see a list of the names of people who commented, with no way to view the actual comments.

The app looks clean and nice, however the comments page only renders a list of indented user names

Please update the app post iOS7.

I downloaded this app after HackerNode was unavailable for some reason following a phone upgrade. Hackerful does an adequate job rendering the items of hacker news, but none of the comments would render in ios7. This left the app fundamentally broken, and not worth recommending to any iOS 7 users.

3 for interface. No landscape mode

I was never able to get this application to open. Crashes every single time.

Would never start, just crashed. Was not able to ever use it.
