£1.49 for a very basic HN reader is a bit premature. I like that it is iOS7 designed though. A couple of suggestions: - Comments - Instapaper or similar

Hey, I noted your suggestions down. Thanks! Comments are definitely something planned.

I just downloaded it, I really like the look and feel. Please add a search feature as well and you have the perfect HN reader ;-)

Shameless plug XD

My app MiniHack dose all.

Nested comments, collapsible comment thread, login to upvote, reply to comment, one tap to open story or comments. Share to Pocket, Instapaper, Pinboard, Evernote, etc. Search hacker news, view the best of pages, ask, new, jobs. Instapaper and Readability mobilizer support, and more.

And I am working on the new iOS 7 update right now, including UI redesign, a new slick dark theme, better sharing (pinboard tags, evernote auto complete), and more.

The last one was used and I've taken the second to last. Thanks!

You wouldn't have got me otherwise - I'll be honest, my thought pattern lies in the _davidsmith camp, and when I saw your app was £1.49 (more than £0), I moved my attention on.

I can't really figure out the functionality of this, so I'm not going to buy it to try it out. If you can't comment on it, then it's worth checking out http://hn.premii.com/ . It's a web, based app, but if you save it to your home screen it removes the Safari chrome and looks and works as a standalone app. You can look at its source here: https://github.com/premii/hn If you can comment on this, it should be interesti…

Just got approval notice. hn.premii.com is available in app store. Going to submit new binary with share functionality tonight. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hacker-news-yc/id713733435?l...

Nice! Can you change the name as it appears on the home screen too? It's currently "hackerNews4"

Instapaper would definitely be good
