Last time I looked through the iPhone clients, they seemed to all be overpriced, and half were abandoned and had one-star reviews saying they didn't work anymore.
I'm not going to spend $5 on a reader just so it can break when the developer gets tired of it next month. I wish pg would just make a mobile stylesheet, or at least not make it fixed width.
- danielh 15y agoUnfortunately, the situation on the iPad is similar, 2 out of 5 apps are totally useless and the reviews don't really help. That's why I wrote this review.
- z92 15y agoThat might have to do with very low demand. Like 1 download/week. Only assumption though.
- smackfu 15y agoI think someone could definitely get a lot of visibility writing a free good Hacker News client, instead of trying to charge $3 and being annoyed that no one buys it.

My experience on android has been similar. I haven't found a good one, and have given up looking. The ones I've tried are either broken, buggy and feel abandoned, or have an uncomfortable UI.
