User reviews
Wonderful! A worthy replacement for "Materialistic" (which has problems with export of saved stories), much better than "Stingray" IMO. Looks beautiful, fairly customizable, explains how the credentials are stored... However, the upvotes/comment count can't displayed in-line with story title, there is no top stories widget and it would have been better if there were swipe-to-upvote for stories (remembering if I upvoted it) and swipe-to-bookmark in the other direction. Why not on F-Droid?

Damjan, 2024-10-20Fav. way to engage in HN; works smoothly, no bugs so far and asthetically pleasing and consistent. PS: I'd really appreciate some sort of 'read later' list on the menu to store news appart from the bookmarks section (for management and ease of use reasons only, it wouldn't have to function any differently).

Diego Crowned, 2024-09-03Looks and feels great, but it's shady. I keep getting a "bad login" error and so can't do anything other than just read. Whatever it's doing for an internal WebView seems to be a part of the issue as when I tried to sign in with Google through that I got a page saying it's an insecure browser. So, that's interesting, and I won't be reinstalling.
