The best Hacker News client on iOS I've found so far since the move from Android (Nexus S, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 5X - last 3 had hardware issues, pissed off) to iOS (iPhone 7+ at that time).

I used to use Materialistic on Android which wich is amazing. Octal is relatively new (I knew it 2 or 3 month ago for the 1st time). It offers similar design and user experience to Materialistic.

Developer appeared to be making it free during the Chinese (Lunar) New Year holiday period, I am not sure if he is Chinese though. Thumbs up to him for making such a beautiful app (for only a niche group of people).

    Seller: Daniel Wu

      Is that a good or a bad thing?
      More explanation required.

        That's in reply to OP's comment about whether the developer is Chinese because of Chinese New Year. Wu is a Chinese surname.

        Free app is a good thing.

          Not 100% sure, I've seen Korean surname Wu and Woo, both.

    What is hacker news.

      A bit like Reddit but with a more tech focus. And fewer puns and memes.

    Ops username is terryWang and they have posted deal of an app sold by Chinese developer whose name appears right below the app name but op is not aware of this…suspicious…

      I'm shocked! Shocked that astroturfing takes place on OzBargain.

      "Your winnings, sir."

      But you're drawing a long bow if your only connection is that both poster and developer have Chinese sounding names!

        Come on man, they're only 19% of the total global population. What are the chances?

    • ChadHominem on 03/02/2019 - 18:25

      That's some expert READING, but some of the connections made…

      Then again, I'm friends with people of Chinese descent, so I may be in on the whole thing ;)

  • Tidy on 03/02/2019 - 11:28

    Any recommendations for Android client?

      Materialistic is decent.

  • SteatoLegato on 03/02/2019 - 12:01

    If I wanted the Chinese to spy on me I’d get a Huawei phone …

    • Look43Bs on 03/02/2019 - 13:07

      .. I watched Snowden last night .. Chinese Govt spying thru Huawei .. US Govt spying thru??? They're both into it .. all around the world!!! No country is immune !!

    Would recommend "Lesen" if you want an app that combines HN, Reddit and SD on iOS / web
