Great, with one new issue

A great app, but the story summary bar has moved from the top to the bottom in the most recent update. Please make this a preference, rather than forcing this quite major change!

Another issue is that URLs that are abbreviated/elided now do not work - the underlying hyperlink has been shortened as well as the displayed text. This was not previously an issue.

Can’t comment

A very nice app only let down by the inability to add comments, would have been 5 star otherwise.

Good app ruined by poor UI changes

Recently the story details have moved to the bottom. This is not a great change. I wish it was optional and was a preference. Would be 4 stars otherwise.
