Same. Except for some weird reason it won't let you click on URLs from hacker News when posted in a thread (eg when someone is linking to an older thread). Other than that, it's the best HN client I've come across for Android. I suspect it's some kind of recursion thing going on where I'm already in the app assigned to HN URLs.?

  Yes I love Materialistic as well. The link problem is also the only annoyance I have. Sadly it looks like many issues have been opened for the bug but I don't see any discussion on the tickets: https://github.com/hidroh/materialistic/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+link https://github.com/hidroh/materialistic/issues?q=is%3Aissue+...

Also do not like being unable to downvote on those really rare occasions it is warranted. Beyond that I use it daily and right now. Nice piece of work!

I do like it, but not being able to edit a comment is kinda annoying, and I find myself needing to on the website to do so.

Agree with the sibling comments (no editing, no downvoting, can't open hn links from a comment), and here are a few more: When looking at a comment from a user profile and viewing the thread, it only shows the chain of parents, and no replies to the comment (much less any replies to the parents). Several top level navigation options (most notably 'threads' and 'past') have no representation in the app's navigation menu. Many sites don't display in the 'article' tab at all, they have to be opened in a browser. Some sites that do display are squashed vertically, though this can be remedied by maximizing the article.
