Used to love this app Ever since last update all it does is update... which would be fine if you could read through articles while it was downloading. Useless on Droid 2

Not near as good as the iPhone version...sad Not as good as the iPhone app which has more categories. No excuse for this. Does not remember the position in the list when going back from a story.
