As a user of Android HN apps, premii seems to beat them in all aspects. The major aspect being them actually working properly.

It seems like apps are less maintainable. Right now pretty much all of the Android HN apps are broken in some way, or missing a core feature of the desktop experience.

App requires more work to maintain. its much easier to update website. App requires a build, submission, approval etc.

I have not updated my downloaded app in long time.

For HN, official APIs are very limited.
