## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Ads ;(

*2018-04-24*

Ads could’ve been shown on preview images before installation mate ;(

### 1/5 — Who would use this?

*2016-08-31*

Why?  Seriously.  Why...? The  Hacker News web app doesn't have ads, and this has a fat ad at the bottom of the main view.  Total garbage.  Don't download.

### 4/5 — Bugs in the new version

*2015-03-07*

I've used this app for a while and it's been pretty good for reading HN. In the most recent version, the page (both article and comments) reload periodically, resetting the screen zoom and position, hope it's fixed soon.

### 5/5 — Best hacker news client out there.

*2017-05-13*

I have tried 20s of other HN client available on App Store. This one comes out as the best. One of the most used app on my phone.

### 5/5 — Worked well for me

*2014-09-25*

I didn't have any functional issues with it. could probably make it look a little nicer, but good job overall
