I downloaded this in response after clicking a link to an article in Mobile Safari and seeing the popup which suggests the app I downloaded it bit there was no way to search for the original article and the design of the app is very blah I went back to the original web link to see if the popup would offer to open the article in the app but it doesnt Thoughtless design no search no notification article open

App crashes when you attempt to share an article via a social site ie Twitter or Facebook Like another reviewer mentioned its ironic that this app serves articles that promote best programming practices Crashes
Images are tiny thumbnails that cannot be expanded No link to the full version of the story is provided Text size cannot be changed by pinch gestures Almost unusable
App crashed repeatedly or prompted to install app Ironic this is an app that focuses on good programming practices Crash course
