    Looks cool. May I ask why free?

      We're within TheNews project which is also free. And we'd rather see people download it and use it. Even .99 is a barrier to entry.

      Also my main aim was to get it to as many people as possible because I felt loads of people wanted this.

      The best form of payment is for me to see my app make it to your homescreen.

      If it isn't already, let me know what to improve, in order to fix that! :)

        I see the pan gesture is overloaded. Pan on a cell triggers cell related actions, pan on bar switches between HN/DN. I don't have a solution right away but I think it's confusing. Hope this helps. Usually I provide more constructive criticism :)

          It's modeled on actions that are common. This same sort of pan is used in Tweetbot, Twitter, etc., so it was something I thought users would be comfortable with.

          I completely understand how you could feel that it's overloaded. It is used for 3 different actions in different directions. It can definitely feel like a lot of swiping after a while, although it does afford less constant tapping and sometimes cuts out a step. I had to make a compromise there.
