    Iconic tile not updating. Bring back flipping wide tile on WP 7.8. It was working just fine before!

    There is an issue with Lumia 920. It's always crashing): Please fix this issue
  • by Dan 5/17/2013
    Great app, but lacks relative loading and good memory management. First, if I start up the app, and an hour later I hit Load More, the loading should keep track of where in the news stream I was, and not load duplicate articles just because more articles were published since I last loaded. Check out the Engadget app, as they have fixed this recently and are now doing relative loading correctly. I'm guessing each article has an ID, and each Load More request includes the ID of the last loaded article, so that each Load More is relative to the last article loaded. Second, memory management once you load more than 5 or so frames is terrible. You guys should unload previous frames. Currently scrolling gets jumpy/stuttery once you load too many frames.
