Best client I have used so far
The Liquid Glass update is mostly great with one minor issue: the In-App web view now opens from the bottom, making the swipe back gesture no longer possible. A switch to change to the old behavior would be appreciated as swiping down from the top isn’t as easy.
Good but missing some web features
Good but missing fading comment text based on rep
So simple, so (nearly) perfect.
Love the app, have been using it for years.
However, a recent update (accidentally?) removed the "collapse root" feature from the context menu.
Pretty please bring that small affordance back.

Response from developer
This has been fixed with 5.1.0. Thanks for the feedback!
Excellent overall, but search needs work
The UI is well designed, intuitive, attractive. It’s my preferred way to read HN.
But I use the search a lot, and it’s very primitive. I typically have to switch to my desktop’s browser to find anything.
The number one thing missing is a date filter. Preferably that allows selecting start/end dates, but even just a dropdown with common ranges would suffice.
HN has a lot of content about topics that move quickly, so I often want to see results from the last X time period. But sort by date, and only see bad submissions that never got traction. Sort by relevance and see popular submissions from 12 years ago. And a hard cap on number of results, so I can’t dig deeper even if I wanted to. It leaves much to be desired.
