TheNews (PH + DN + HN) App Reviews

30 add

Best HN app + best DN app

Threaded comments, consistent interface, reasonable in-app browser.

My favorite app for reading HN and DN

Occasional bugs when loading comments.

Progressively more broken

Comments flow past the edge of the screen, probably from an iPhone 6 update. Im on 5+. In the most recent update, the comments have disappeared altogether. The poster names are still there but the comments are invisible. I only used this app because it had HN and DN in one app but now its completely broken.

Great App

Latest app broke Hacker News! But otherwise is pretty solid.

Broken

No longer loads news articles

Does not work as advertised

The app only shows Designer News and theres no foreseeable way to get to Hacker News. The app keeps prompting me to log in for some reason, even though its just scraping news feeds

Needs an "Open in Safari" option

This is a great, simple tech news site client in nearly all respects. I only use it for HackerNews, but it seems like the other two sites it includes work just as well. But it has a glaring omission of not having an option to open web pages in Safari. So when you click through a headline to a news site, and want to bookmark it, or share it, or whatever, you cant because the page only opens in the apps internal webview.

Perfect for casual reading

I love the simplicity of this app. Swipe the top bar left and right to navigate between sources. Unfortunately Designer News has been broken for a few weeks ("No internet connection :(").

Great

Please fix : app says no internet connection. Something is up with the feed parser. -- Quickly became my morning go-to news app. Great job guys. Ps. Pocket authentication crashes the app, please look into it

Cant have that

2 out of 3 services isnt working. No thanks.
