User Reviews

Hacker Feed is praised for its clean, simple UI, lightweight feel, fast performance, privacy (no tracking), and convenient bookmarking. Users appreciate the free, ad-free experience with no subscription. Recurrent downsides include reliability in content loading and freshness (delays, caching, occasional no stories), missing ability to log in to post or vote, and the absence of adjustable font size. Overall, strong usability with clear wishlist items for features and accessibility.

Cons

Reliability issues with content loading and data freshness (delayed opening of links, content cached for days, some stories not loading)
Missing login system for posting, commenting, and voting
Lack of adjustable font size / text size customization

I really like the convenience of this app over accessing the website on my phone. It has a clean interface and presentation. However, I would like 2 options added: a) disallow thread collapsing - I find myself accidentally collapsing threads due to an inadvertent screen touch; and b) allow the user to change the font size. Maybe these options are there but I cannot find them (Apple IOS). Thank you for a well thought out and intuitive app.
