I don't know about this; it doesn't appear to support authentication, or allow me to upvote/downvote (I get that it probably can't). My only gripe with using HN in Mobile Safari is that sometimes when I go to upvote/downvote I press the wrong one (my thumb lacks precision). This doesn't solve that problem for me, so I can't really see myself spending $2 for increased padding.

Login, voting, and commenting was planned from the start and is coming within the next couple weeks. (ie: after my exams) Most of it is already built-out and just needs some polish.

Here's what it looks like now: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4595/hn-vote.png

That's what I'm waiting for before buying a hacker news app.

Suggestion: For UI consistency, I would put the upvote for stories on the left of the title, in the same spot it is for comment upvotes. It might just be a personal taste thing, but I could see myself downvoting something on accident, by pressing the button where the submission upvote usually goes. I like that the up/downvote buttons are on opposite sides of the comment. It should keep fat fingers from miss-voting.

Any chance you could implement a "Mail HN Link" similar to what Tweetie 2 does for "Mail Tweet"? That would make it really easy to forward HN links to a number of friends.

If you haven't seen that feature of Tweetie 2, it's awesome. It embeds the tweet itself, along with any relevant links, in an html email. Oh, and most importantly, sending the email doesn't require you to quit the app.

I suppose you'd be embedding the story title, description, a link to the HN thread, and of course, the link to the original story.

Looks great, I'll give it a look then! Smart move getting the early release and feedback.
