MiniHack. Tried a bunch of free apps then paid for it after some googling. Supports login and comments. Has a dark interface theme.

MiniHack was my favorite as well after going through all the available clients recently. The only thing that annoys me is how collapsing comments is an awkward swipe to the left instead of just a tap like most threaded discussion apps. Tapping brings up a menu with post actions. I emailed the dev some feedback but never got a reply.

As I wrote in the post, MiniHack is the one I have currently settled on.

My only concern is that it appears only very lightly maintained, hasn’t had an update for the iPhone X’s screen, and has no support for notifications.

Your post says “free MiniHack” app. I don’t see one in the App Store.

That's not free!

I use MiniHack, as well.

One thing I don’t like is it can be difficult to click on links in comments. It often clicks on the overall comment rather than the link.
