HN Explorer

Ask HN: What (browser) do you use to browse HN on iPhone?

2 points by winteriscoming ↗ HN
I've been a Android phone user for a while and just switched to iPhone. One thing I don't like so far is that the font size of Safari browser is too small to read and apparently there's no setting that allows to increase the size other than pinch and widen technique. However it doesn't wrap the text and then I have keep scrolling horizontally to read it. On some sites I use Reader view which allows increasing the font. But HN doesn't have that.

So those of you who use iPhone and frequent HN, what do you use to make the font much more readable?

Boreal app

Thank you. That does look promising. Read their blog and just downloaded the app.

One question - it expects me to login to casually browse. Do you know how they manage the login? They present a on screen login windows and I'm a bit paranoid when it comes to providing username/passwords to apps.

Also, if the Boreal app developers notice this thread - how about a feature where I can browse HN using the app without having to login unless of course when I want to vote/comment? :)

Ah, don't worry(although I am not the creator of the app) I am using it and I don't have any issues with my credentials. Btw you can email the for any feedback, they answered me 1-2 times.
