New Features in This Version
* Search
- The number one requested feature is here at last.
* Synchronized Scrolling
- You can configure so that each gesture slides all ribbons together, instead of just exploring the content of each ribbon. This was built for a lot of the feedback from people who felt it was too much work to discover content. Its a simple button now in the customize screen to change to this behavior. Let us know what you think!
* Re-order Sections
- You can now choose which section you want in which order on the left navigation
* Updated themes
- We've updated the white and black themes to be slicker and tighter then ever
* Bug fixes and performance upgrades
- Lots of tunings went into this for better background caching and performance, let us know!

Keeps getting worse
The new design makes it harder to browse for content, too much scrolling is required. I'll stick to using safari.
Kinda hate it
I'd give this app ONE STAR... but... it's free and it does what it's trying to do well. My problem is that what it's trying to do -- CONVERT THE INTUITIVE VERTICAL NEWSPAPER FEEL OF THE WEBSITE INTO A NIGHTMARE OF HORIZONTAL SCROLLING -- is ill advised and poor design.
More Accessibility Needed
#1. There need to be more zooming because text inside quotes are difficult to see and requires me to use iPad's native zooming mechanism.
#2. Way to "mark as read" then automatically removing read items like RSS reader do would be nice. Related to that, don't limit unread items if this feature I propose can be created.
I have more ideas but they can wait. This app looks to develop into well created app for this new mobile digital age!
