Happily purchased! I love what you did with the icon; it looks great.

I'm using it on the ipad now; it's a great UI, I like how you made and used a cascading UI for it. My only suggestion would be to make the news list not as cramped. But, then again, that maintains some style from the current web version :)

I am intrigued! Please consider adding a screenshot of the iPhone Comments view to either your site or the App Store listing. The Comments interface would be the deciding factor for me - I still haven't found a HN app that gets this right.

The comments UI is the deciding factor for me as well. So far, the best implementation of this I have come across is cheeaun's Hacker News mobile web app: http://cheeaun.github.com/hnmobile/landing/

Is there a bookmark option? If you can let me bookmark and tag or group them, I'll buy it instantly!

Yes you can add bookmarks to instapaper.

Hmm...not quiet what I want. I want to group stuff I've read and want to keep by tags, like python, JavaScript, etc.

I have a few of these HN clients, but never use them, because I love chronological front page. If you could add a chronological ordering of the front page (like http://hckrnews.com does), I'd buy your app in an instant.

And a very important note: Your app is universal, so don't use TWO separate icons for advertising it - It's confusing, and I thought I have to pay twice for it (one for my iPhone and one for my iPad).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes. Please. I'll buy it the moment you do.

Give Marco Arment a bit Instapaper love!

I had been a paid instapaper user since the beginning, but Pocket is just awesome - they got me to switch.

You're right.I should have thought of that.

Correction Made.Now it shows one icon.

Thanks a lot!
