Just attempted to go Pro ($5? Of course! Quality work should be rewarded). As soon as the purchase was complete, the app said it couldn't verify the purchase and to try again at a later time.

Hey, Thanks for the report! We are going for a quick fix now, something on the validation server :P Thanks for the support!

Thank you!

Congrats, seems to work pretty well. I can tell you why I won't be switching away from Minihack [1], though. First, apparently there is no collapsing support. Secondly, and more importantly, that default font. Not a fan. It's super thin, tiny, and you can't adjust the text size. Apparently there are "pro" themes, but you force the user to buy without giving a preview of what you'll be getting. Thirdly, no night mode;…

Agreed. I'd pay for pro if one of the themes was "larger font size, higher contrast."

MiniHack is my go-to as well; it's really well done and it's hard to see me moving off of it any time soon.

I agree with this chap. The font is... okay. But I'd like the option for something a little less whimsical. Something boring like Cousine would be nice.

Really solid app though, very fine work. First time an app has actually tempted me away from simply visiting website.

They lost us...

Trust me (and us), we wanted to make the best HN reading experience on Android devices as well, but we are totally short of hands, therefore iOS for now.

I trust you, but the guy upstairs is right. You did kinda lose us.... There's a lot of "us".

Wow. Pretty funny imagining a dev team on HN all day, writing insightful comments all in the name of testing.

I can personally guarantee you that comments don't have to be 'insightful' to get karma.
