Ask HN: what hacker news app do you use on iOS?
- killahpriest 14y agonews:yc is by far the best. Because of its simplicity, I use it much more than I use the actual HN website. I've even emailed chpwn (Grant Paul) the creator of the app with ideas for making it better and he was very quick to respond and sincerely consider my suggestions. In the end he chose not to use them, as he feared the UI implementation would not be intuitive. http://newsyc.me/ http://newsyc.me/
- stingraycharles 14y agoI just installed it, but I'm having trouble finding out how to collapse comment threads; is this feature available, and if so, how ?
- killahpriest 14y agoThats the feature I suggested, but he rejected. :P How would you implement it? I suggested swiping horizontally on a comment would collapse the children.
- stingraycharles 14y agoI have no idea what would trigger the collapse, but it's extremely annoying to browse this way. Especially on submissions with a lot of comments, you have to go through a huge list of worthless comments to find the next "good comment". Either a thread collapse or a "skip to next comment on the same indentation level as this" would solve that problem.
- stingraycharles 14y agoI just had contact with the author, he seems to be willing to acknowledge the issue, but unwilling to implement a fix. So that's a shame, made me waste some money.

- brudgers 14y agoI'm curious as to why people don't use the browser.
- stingraycharles 14y agoThe official site doesn't work well on mobile browsers. There are sites such as ihackernews.com and icombinator.net that fill that gap.
- jamesjguthrie 14y agoI just use Chrome on my iPad 4, I feel I'm getting the same experience as on the desktop and that's fine for me.
