An iPhone HN client called MiniHack. There are quite a number of these type of apps but most of them are just readers. MiniHack allows comment.

Just checked it out, looks good to me. I am in fact replying via the app. Only thing is I can't upvote you because it says the upvote failed.

It didn't used to do that. I'm not sure whether the upvotes actually fail, or whether they just appear to fail.

I use minihack and tested it. They just appear to fail.

I have found 2 good ones:

http://hn.premii.com - I like it the most from functionality perspective but it crashes often on my Android phone.

http://ihackernews.com - Works great on my android phone but it has not been updated with recent menu changes in HN (like Show HN etc)

Overall, I have settled with ihackernews.com for now because hn.premii.com crashes too often on my phone at least.

I use Hacker News (YC) by thekingshorses. The design is alot better then most the stuff out there. My only beef would be that it stops loading content after a few pages. Sometimes I like to binge read and would love to go deeper into the results.

Started using Hacker Times (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hacker-times/id939293040) recently on my iPhone & iPad. Doesn't let you post though.

HackerQueue is pretty good http://hackerqueue.io, it also shows lobster.rs and /r/programming.

Firefox on Android. IE on WP 7.8. Whatever the browser was on Symbian 60 before that.

Clearly, I've missed the rational behind using an app rather than the web.

I use http://newsyc.me/ (it's open source too, iOS only though)

http://hn.premii.com - really wonderful

I'll second this. I actually use the site to view on my laptop, as well as the app.

HackerNode serves the purpose, but I can't say I've tried any others.

The browser, specifically Chrome. This is a huge call for a HN native app.

Chrome. I try avoid using 3rd party apps to access HN.

hnapp to make a feed, then bazqux and news+ to read the feed. Works well.
