A shameless plug, but my app is brand new, free, and shows comments legibly. But the #1 feature: background refresh. It uses new APIs in iOS 7 to preload the front page before you open it. Pivit - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pivit/id705715915

Mine is free, and freshly rebuilt for iOS using Text Kit and background refresh. It's free and no in-apps: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pivit/id705715915
I like this one. I had never heard of you so I built Simple Hacker News ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/simple-hacker-news-simple/id... ) last year. The big feature I want is I want a way to see what I've already read. I think this is the first app (other than mine) that I know does this. Haven't played around long but I like you can collapse and expand comments. Is there a way to default them all to be expanded? E…
Someone make exactly the same, for android.

I'm still trying to figure out which Hacker News reader is a labor-of-love for the developer, as opposed to a coding exercise to see if they can make a few bucks which is abandoned quickly when the answer is "no".
Mine's definitely a labor of love - I use it daily, and hardly ever use the browser version unless I want to comment on something. I'm working on adding commenting/submitting/voting at the moment, and should have that done shortly. Personally, I think it's the most beautiful HN reader on the App Store, but I may be biased. It's free too. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/news-yc/id592893508?mt=8 EDIT: All of the produc…

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

Oh awesome! Are you just wrapping the mobile site and utilizing iOS APIs or are you doing anything more? with this version?
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…

When you click a link from one of the app's inbuilt views to the story page or the Hacker News comment thread, you don't have a "back" button, and I can't find any way other than force-quit-and-restart to get out of it.
(It'd also be nice if, at least on iPhone, the app could produce the same effect as when viewing external pages; as it is now, such viewing involves lots of tiny text and scrolling, without the Safari reader interface available to mitigate.)
Nice app; I look forward to using it, once the navigation's fixed.
