Initial feedback:

* it would be great to be able to submit comment,

* I use "collapse thread" quite often so it would be beneficial to do it in one tap.

Overall good design and better than other, probably abandoned clients for WP8. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for your feedback!

Voting and commenting is definitely planned, however I'm waiting on the API to add support for authentication first. The app actually does not use the API since it's somewhat lacking right now [1] so it scrapes the markup instead, but I'm not quite comfortable with implementing login/voting/commenting by scraping.

You can collapse comments by tapping anywhere outside the text area, i.e. on the author/time header or on the margins to the left and right. I'm sorry that's not obvious, I'll probably add a message explaining it in the next update.
