Top HN App at a glance
Just downloaded 6 HN apps and added a Safari link to Home Screen, and this is the “quick test” winner for all-around features and design. Impressive first reaction.

Broken links
Almost perfect, but links that are too long get truncated, not only do they look shorter, the actual link is cut off as well. So, to open any long links you have to open the original HN link and find the comment from there.
