Hackly Customer Insights

1. Overall excited to see if things are improved and if the app sees continual improvements.I saw this app had no reviews and i just had to leave one! Very under appreciated app! Does exactly what i needed it to, highly customizable, and doesn't open the articles to external browser if i don't want it to! I would definitely reccomend this to anyone looking for an alternative new application!Pros: Intuitive UI, dark theme, no ads Cons: No "read" indicator for articles, unable to star/favorite articles for later viewingWow! amazing app, please add further features lik e offline viewing.

2. Very pretty UI but there are a few gripes: laggy scrolling on larger discussion threads, unclear that a single tap opens discussions and long press opens the article, doesn't seem to continuously load posts as you scroll through.

3. Great work.Quick response from the developer of my "issue" and voila, able to change the theme to darkCan't adjust font size.
