All you need to do is look at the screenshots (complete with comic sans notes) to realize this app is poorly designed. Example: This is an iPad app, why do I need to scroll just to read the story title? <br/><br/>Do yourself a favor and skip this app, the web version of HN beats it any day (just use the Instapaper bookmark to read later).
Regularly read Hacker News. This app servers it's purpose and does exactly what it advertised. Looking forward to future updates.
The listing is ugly and difficult to read, not vey intuitive.
This app is poorly made. It is not intuitive-you must delete read items to remove them from the article list-it doesn't just refresh with new content. It also does not save your instapaper credentials between launches. A waste of 99 cents.
I've been a follower of Hacker news for quite some time and was looking for a way to get easy access to it through an app. This definetly delivers that in a simple interface that puts a focus on allowing the user to read the news. Overall I was impressed with this app. I look forward to more stuff by this developer.
Wonderful look and features, love instapaper. Cannot find easy way to delete read though, and it sorts alphabetical instead of by date. I can two click delete read one-at-time.. Am I missing something? The new ones get mixed with the old ones for me; going to continue reading through Twitter for now.
