In the meanwhile, this is super mobile and tablet-friendly: http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/ I've been using it for more than a year now and I nearly never visit it Hacker News directly on mobile.
There is also an Android app by this premii person, and it re-directs all links through its own domain. Very annoying and actually borderline malicious.
Speaking of Android, after looking through the available apps I decided to release my own as open source. It's lightweight and has a focus on usability, check it out :)
Trust me I've tried them all, and I still felt that I needed to develop my own out of necessity. I'm studying interaction design, so something which is usable is really important to me.
I would argue that every app I used had minor issues which evolved into major issues over time. Poor visual design, visibility and readabilty, too cluttered or unintuitive, etc. I set out for the app to do one thing, and excel at it without issues.

I've been using the Android app by Manuel Maly for a while and can recommend it. It's available on FDroid: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=HN&fdid=com.... or Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manuelmaly...

I'm counting at least 12 HN apps on Google Play. What does your own has that the others don't?
