It's a cool app but it's hung up my iPhone in a very strange way.

I installed the app by saving to the home screen. Then I opened it and was browsing around, but all of a sudden, all my buttons got disabled and so now I'm stuck inside the app looking at an HN thread. There's no back button once you click through to an external url. So I can't even get back to the app's UI.

So now I just have to wait for my phone battery to die.

Do a hard reset (on iPads this requires holding power + home for 10 seconds, don't know about iPhones, but there definitely is a way; pretty much any normal computer/phone/tablet can be powercycled by holding power button for ~10 seconds).

Why thank you! I totally forgot hard reset is power+home and was trying each of them individually instead :-p

Or you could close the app. Double-click the home button and hit the red badge.

I couldn't close the app because my home button was disabled. So was my power button and I couldn't even slide down the notifications panel to try and jump to another app.

But the hard reset suggested by TeMPOraL worked.
