Bug report for you, on the "Save to home page" version at least (I haven't tried the App Store version):
When you click a link from one of the app's inbuilt views to the story page or the Hacker News comment thread, you don't have a "back" button, and I can't find any way other than force-quit-and-restart to get out of it.
(It'd also be nice if, at least on iPhone, the app could produce the same effect as <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" /> when viewing external pages; as it is now, such viewing involves lots of tiny text and scrolling, without the Safari reader interface available to mitigate.)
Nice app; I look forward to using it, once the navigation's fixed.

Oh awesome! Are you just wrapping the mobile site and utilizing iOS APIs or are you doing anything more? with this version?

Nice! Can you change the name as it appears on the home screen too? It's currently "hackerNews4"
