What happened? I think development has stopped on this app. It has been a long time and many features have never been enabled, and can not install to SD card. Disgraceful for an app from an Android enthusiast site.

Memory Why does this load at startup? For a blog that espouses efficient processing and such this is a grave oversight. Uninstall. LG G2X

Needs work App gets hung up when updating at least once a day. It keeps acting like it is trying to sync articles but nothing happens. If I force stop, then app corrects itself.
