HACK for Hacker News Reader for Negative User Reviews

✓ App is breaking too oftenVery unreliable. Often loads with a blank page or loads all the links as posted “just now” with no comments and no ability to open comments.GoatedWDaSauceVersion: 86

✓ Good, but small annoyances and one big bugOverall this app is very good! Thank you for making it. Ok, on to the the things that need to be fixed. First and foremost, sometimes clicking the back button freezes the app and makes me force close and restart before it becomes responsive again. This is super annoying and has happened 7 times in the last 5 minutes. Secondly, this one is less of a major issue but more of an annoyance. It’s really hard to upvote a comment without it collapsing it. I have to try 3-5 times before I actually am able to click the upvote instead of collapsing. Thanks again for the app. Hope these issues can get worked out..Mackeyja92Version: 18.0

✓ It's okIt's ok. Does literally what it's supposed to, though I'm spoiled by all of the amazing UX of Apollo. But! It hard freezes ALL. THE. TIME. In a short session I have to kill the app three or four times. Boooooo..NoWayYouDon'tNeedThisVersion: 69

✓ 5 stars until the app frozeTried a few hacker news clients, this one was most intuitive to use. Gave it 5 stars until the app froze after sending a few links to the browser. Hopefully the problem will get resolved soon..TheYellowLightVersion: 30.0

✓ Probably the best for HN, still lackingNo doubt this is the best HN app I’ve used but it doesn’t hold a candle to something like Apollo which I consider(ed) the gold standard for a link aggregator client. Tap targets are way too small, must but almost half of what the HIG recommends. I find it infuriating to try to tap the “…” or upvote button only to have it collapse the thread and rinse and repeat 3-10 times before it works. Reply notifications and logged in status in general is extremely buggy. I randomly get logged out so I’ll be browsing, go to upvote, and get a generic error. It’s at this point I’ll notice the “Downvote” option is missing but the app will still show me logged in. Sometimes the only fix is to kill the app and/or log out/in again. Similarly, clicking on the bell/notification icon will randomly tell me “You haven’t enabled reply notifications” which is a setting I’ve never toggled off, yet it gets toggled off on me without any action on my part. The app works well overall but interacting with posts and the inconsistent/buggy auth status drive me bonkers..JoshStrangeVersion: 100
