Do you use the mobile site or an app?

Android or iOS?

On IOS:

I use the hackernews app by @ashishgandhi. Its okay, there are some serious flaws. Like if you actually sign into the app it breaks and needs to be completely re-installed.

But honestly I comment to much as is, so just reading is likely good for me.

Most other apps I find are very ugly, or lack simplicity of navigation. I just prefer its presentation.

TL;DR I'm trapped in a rut with a semi-broken tool.

I stumped the $ for MiniHack as my iPhone and iPad hacker news client of choice after using about half the other free ones and two other paid ones, totally wish I found this first.

Just downloaded https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hacker-news-yc/id713733435?m... and commenting from it sucks (you have to tap the little link that shows a web view of the site). Usually I use ihackernews but I can't sign in to it for some reason.
Reader YC on BlackBerry . Works like a charm, not just on the go but while getting the little one to sleep.
i use mobile site on android. The best mobile site in my opinion is http://hn.premii.com. There also is http://ihackernews.com but it lacks some features of HN.
I use Hacker News Android and it has suited me well so far.
Pulse app on ios.
