Reviews: What People Think About Hackers for Hacker News

My favorite way to browse HN by far.
One kind of annoying thing: tapping on a link inside of a comment will immediately open the link in a different view, even if I’m just trying to scroll past it and accidentally tap on it. I think it should probably open the link only if you tap and release on the tap target, not just tap. Forgive me if I’m explaining it strangely.

Very nice app, looks very polished with black mode. One problem — the app is too sensitive to sideways movements when scrolling up or down. This results in either the left or night options being pulled from the side rather than actually scrolling. I’ve never experienced this on another app so don’t feel it’s just the way I scroll? It enough creates minor friction with enough frequency to move to another app unfortunately.

I don’t write a review often but when I do it’s because I either really like something or I really don’t like it. In this case, this app is what I needed: simple, easy to use, and free/no ads. You should get it now if you’re on the fence.
