I'm actually commenting with it. It feels great. However, it crashed when I tried to sign in. when I opened the app again, I was signed in. I am using the Asus Transformer with ICS

Crashed on the first sign in with me too.

Feedback:

  * I love how smooth the scroll is.
  * The loading more UI is lacking and isn't polished like the rest of the UI
  * Crashed the first time I signed in.
  * I miss seeing the domain (and subdomain) of the linked article
  * I don't like having articles open in a web view. Would much rather have them open in the default browser instead.
  * The comment UI has an odd white stripe on the left of the screen.
  * The extra prompt asking to open comments or article is annoying. Maybe have The middle half of the screen open the article and the right quarter open comments.
  * Maybe support flagging or downvoting by swiping a post or comment off the screen. Similar to clearing a notification.
  * Notification of replies to my own comments would be a nice addition.
Great start and I hope you continue to develop it.

Thanks for trying it out. We are working on a fix for the issue.

Please make the apk available for those of us who don't gave the proprietary market app or choose not to link a Google id to the phone.

Hi, I have put the apk at the end of the page http://rickylaishram.com/projects/hacker_news

Thanks for the feedback. We have just updated the app that should fix the crash on login. We will try to incorporate as much of the features as possible.
