My app is the only app as far as I know which supports push notifications for HN comments on your post/replies. It is also highly customizable with themes, fonts, colors etc, supports voting, favoriting, commenting with your HN account, reader mode for browser, android supports article to speech.
The iOS one has been out for few years now and regularly updated. The Android one is about 3 months old so feedback is welcome.
Just one small feedback (for Android client): currently it for some reason makes the virtual button bar at the bottom (assuming the user enables it, like me) transparent, which makes it very hard to see: https://imgur.com/a/a8KTw5f (the second screenshot shows what it looks like in a typical app).
Just added a new setting called "Opaque bottom navigation bar background" which if enabled makes the bottom nav bar opaque for better visibility of the nav buttons:

Octal is a good client for HN on iOS

Just downloaded it, it looks pretty great.

Thoughts?
The update should most likely be available tomorrow after Google approves it.
Exactly what I want, thanks!
The update with the new setting is now available. Let me know if you have issues.
Thanks for the feedback. I will add a setting which disables the bottom nav controls being transparent.
I love Hack! Thank you for all your work on this app. I bought it a couple years ago now.
Thanks for the disclosure!
It’s my go to for sure, excellent recommendation.
