  I'll second this. I actually use the site to view on my laptop, as well as the app.

An iPhone HN client called MiniHack. There are quite a number of these type of apps but most of them are just readers. MiniHack allows comment.

  Just checked it out, looks good to me. I am in fact replying via the app. Only thing is I can't upvote you because it says the upvote failed.

    It didn't used to do that. I'm not sure whether the upvotes actually fail, or whether they just appear to fail.

Chrome. I try avoid using 3rd party apps to access HN.

HackerNode serves the purpose, but I can't say I've tried any others.

I have found 2 good ones: http://hn.premii.com http://hn.premii.com - I like it the most from functionality perspective but it crashes often on my Android phone. http://ihackernews.com http://ihackernews.com - Works great on my android phone but it has not been updated with recent menu changes in HN (like Show HN etc) Overall, I have settled with ihackernews.com for now because hn.premii.com crashes too often on my phone at least.

I use Hacker News (YC) by thekingshorses. The design is alot better then most the stuff out there. My only beef would be that it stops loading content after a few pages. Sometimes I like to binge read and would love to go deeper into the results. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.premii.hn&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.premii.hn&...

The browser, specifically Chrome. This is a huge call for a HN native app.

Started using Hacker Times (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hacker-times/id939293040 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hacker-times/id939293040) recently on my iPhone & iPad. Doesn't let you post though.

Firefox on Android. IE on WP 7.8. Whatever the browser was on Symbian 60 before that. Clearly, I've missed the rational behind using an app rather than the web.

HackerQueue is pretty good http://hackerqueue.io http://hackerqueue.io, it also shows lobster.rs and /r/programming.
