I really like this app. My only suggestion would be to add a "Refresh" button or option in the menu. I minimized the app and went back to it about 20 minutes later and it was bringing me to the wrong article comments and then it gave me a 'network error' (guessing the page expired) when scrolling. Closed the app via recent apps vs minimizing it and restarted it, worked fine.

Aside from that, I truly like it.

Please remove the intermediate popup menu when clicking to read an article.

Clicking the title should just go to the article.

The "10 comments" TextView should be clickable to take me to the comments activity.

You could add more clickable margin and bump the font size on that comments text if you feel it's to small to click.

The fact that I have to click twice to read anything will prevent me from using the app. I love the speed and the rendering, so I'd love to use this app, but right now I can't get past the fact I have to click twice every time.
