While I think it's the best of what's available, it still misses some features. No downvoting, no flagging, preformatted text gets mangled, and the own comments/conversations view is not ideal.
It's so close...

#12It's definitely the most feature-rich HN client. Sad that something comparable is not on iOS :(
(But the ones on iOS aren't bad..I've had the most luck with one called "Hacker News" by Premii)

Also a option to download all comments, rather than have it download as i scroll.

I'd love to be able to long press links (any link) to be able to view/copy/share them.

Have you tried MiniHack? After shopping around a bunch of iOS HN clients I like that one the most. It's ad-free, feature-rich but not bloated, responsive, and somewhat customizable.

#16What does the word "Materialistic" have to do with Hacker News? I did a web search to see if I'm missing something, but it looks like it's just a name that does not fit.
How about "Hacker News client by Trung", or "Trung HN" for short.

#17It's funny how there are hundreds of HN apps on the play store.

It's a nod to the Material design framework that was used for the project.

When I created it material design was a hot thing, so I just randomly came up with that name. Now it's not relevant anymore but I keep the name to avoid confusion for existing users.

I plan to implement downvoting but I'm not sure of the logic involved (I don't have enough karma to test it myself). Probably I'll add it to a beta channel and let users help test it.
Performance can be laggy and is something I'm trying to improve.
