#5This review doesn't reflect (my) daily usage. Hacker News Beta is gorgeous but it's a usability nightmare and none of the post functionality works. Either the UX is broken for it and/or it force closes on a brand new (rom on my) Galaxy Nexus. You lose scroll position going between Activities, you can only view one page, etc.

#6I tested them all, there is always something that make it a worst experience than using a browser, for exemple when it lost the position in the comment thread. So now I rely exclusively to Chrome.

It's true that I haven't used all of the apps for a long period of time. Hacker News Droid is the one I've been using the most, but sadly it hasn't stayed up to date compared with some of the competition. By the way, I just added Hacker News Android to the comparison. It is really beautiful and functional, and seems like a great choice if you're running ICS or above. It might also be slightly unstable though, and I had to log in before it would load the front page. Still, it's worth a look :)

This looks pretty good. However, is there a way you can view the New category in this?

#10Thanks for sharing this list. HN is one if the few things I semi regularly read and I'm ecstatic so far that I can use my note to participate on hn and continue to keep my laptop as a workspace first.
