A good effort

Very good, if a little mediocre. Bravo.

Login doesn't work

Just gives me a bunch of repeated popup msgs saying I can't log in with that username/pass combination. I've just used it successfully on the HN website, so this must be a bug in the app. Also, no feedback option.

Slightly broken

Usernames and karma have gone...and I can't login, but it's good for reading the latest and 'hot' news. I would also call the things that have broken a feature, no bias!

Paid apps usually have more support...

This app is still useable, however the login has been broken for months now and feel as if the developer(s) have abandoned it. At $3 and for being a relatively easy app to build I expected for it to at least work. Overall just disappointed in the support
