Simple and good.
I’m an avid reader of HN, despite that I really dislike their UX for threading replies on their website.
When I found the HackerWeb.App PWA I switched it and never came back.
Recently I found you published an iOS Native one, I think I still like the PWA better but I love the cool threading style on this one. It also performs better than the PWA.
The ability to switch between webview and comments view is phenomenal too — definitely a great feature add that lacks in the PWA version.
When I saw this was open source, I considered building it myself and having it for free, but then I realized how I used the PWA for free for many years and how it would take me time to build and maintain the iOS one just to save a couple bucks. Shame on me, glad to purchase and finally give back to you who made my experience reading HN better.
Thank you @cheeaun !

Simple and it works
Nice thing about this app is it does one thing well, and exactly the thing you want it to do, let you read HackerNews :)
I’ve been using the free web app for ages, but bought this to show appreciation and send some money to the dev.
One feature suggestion:
Let me “load more” more than once... I sometimes don’t read for a few days and find it limiting that I can only browse through two pages before being pushed out of the app.
Otherwise, great stuff, thank you.

By far the best Hacker News client
Easily the best Hacker News client available, highly recommend the web app version as well. The interface is a huge improvement over Hacker News itself, and lacks any of the clutter of other clients.
Clean and crisp and sharp and amazing
It's a web app. But you'd NEVER know because it's amazing work. Work like this deserves your money and time. This has been my go-to app since the start. Brilliant.
Great HN app
Great app, fast, and rarely see bugs. Look forward to improvements.
Huge potential
I've been reading Hacker News for years now and am growing increasingly frustrated at their lack of usability and modern design. HackerWeb is already an improvement by letting me collapse comments. I think it's got a ways to go but I see some huge potential to offer such an improved experience that people would be stupid not to use it.

Could of get the information for free...
The information is the same as in the free app "hacker news". Worst part is that the content cannot be view on data...
