news:yc is by far the best.

Because of its simplicity, I use it much more than I use the actual HN website.

I've even emailed chpwn (Grant Paul) the creator of the app with ideas for making it better and he was very quick to respond and sincerely consider my suggestions. In the end he chose not to use them, as he feared the UI implementation would not be intuitive.

I just installed it, but I'm having trouble finding out how to collapse comment threads; is this feature available, and if so, how ?

Thats the feature I suggested, but he rejected. :P How would you implement it?

I suggested swiping horizontally on a comment would collapse the children.

HackerNode. Unfortunately it's a read-only app, but it works really well for me :)

I'm curious as to why people don't use the browser.

The official site doesn't work well on mobile browsers. There are sites such as ihackernews.com and icombinator.net that fill that gap.

I just use Chrome on my iPad 4, I feel I'm getting the same experience as on the desktop and that's fine for me.
