Hacker News App Comparison for Android

I actually prefer <a href="http://cheeaun.github.com/hnmobile/" rel="nofollow">http://cheeaun.github.com/hnmobile/</a> over any native app on my Android. It's fast, pretty and hasn't let me down yet.

You might want to do test this again on a tablet. I only found one or two apps that used dual panes - IMHO a key feature for reading on a tablet.

It's not a native app, but I've enjoyed <a href="http://ihackernews.com" rel="nofollow">http://ihackernews.com</a> for some time now.

Thanks for sharing this list. HN is one if the few things I semi regularly read and I'm ecstatic so far that I can use my note to participate on hn and continue to keep my laptop as a workspace first.

I tested them all, there is always something that make it a worst experience than using a browser, for exemple when it lost the position in the comment thread. So now I rely exclusively to Chrome.

Could someone point me to a similar Win 8 comparison?

Mobile version this web page would be better IMHO.

Weird, I just completed a very similar review, but focused on tablet (Nexus 7) support. We came to very similar conclusions: <a href="http://www.iqdupont.com/blog/2012/11/10/finding-a-good-hacker-news-android-app.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.iqdupont.com/blog/2012/11/10/finding-a-good-hacke...</a>

Hacker News Full by Chad Etzel only stopped working in the last day or two (probably something with the API it uses), but is my favorite app. Hopefully it gets an update or otherwise starts working again.

If you know any other apps worth including, please let me know :)

HackerNewsBot is my favorite

This review doesn't reflect (my) daily usage. Hacker News Beta is gorgeous but it's a usability nightmare and none of the post functionality works. Either the UX is broken for it and/or it force closes on a brand new (rom on my) Galaxy Nexus. You lose scroll position going between Activities, you can only view one page, etc.
