For a paid app, the lack of basic core features (i.e. to simply view comments) indicates a lot of work needs to be done. The existing free readers out there are a bit more capable.

I ended up buying it since I'm still looking for a good HN reader out there that does all of: indenting comment threads, gives you the choice of browsing directly to the story without going through comments, and displaying key story information beside the story, such as the number of votes.

Hey there, I'm the developer of the app.

Firstly, thanks for buying the app! I wasn't personally expecting this much response, it was meant to be a read-only app, but I personally ended up missing comments as well. I understand your concern. I've good news though : we started the work on implementing comments :)

I just bought it, because I like where you are going with the design.

However, I would echo the need for comment support.

Check out how http://hn.premii.com/ does comments, I find that quite readable compared to news:yc.

The ability to log in and reply to comments would round out the use case that I used to use other apps for.
