I guess I have fat fingers or something. Thanks for obliging, regardless. – Alan, on July 11, 2009 23:55

Ah, yes, but it's significanly harder to hit. Don't you find yourself
frequently missing it?

My guess is that the unusual height of the overall field is throwing
it off. If you go to your phone favorites where the fields are all
one line high, for example, you'll see it's impossible to tap between
the arrows. Anywhere you touch on the right hand side always selects
an arrow.

Give it a shot... try touching the comments icon on a multi-line headline 10 times... what is your success rate?

Yeah, I have to leave the app frequently when using my phone. Either to take a call or respond to a text message or change my song or whatever.

What about this: have it remember the position/link for 5 minutes. When relaunching, if you last quit greater than 5 minutes ago, it takes you to the home screen. Otherwise, it puts you where you left off.

Remember article and position when relaunching app

Remember article I'm currently viewing and position when relaunching app. I.e. If I was viewing an article, return me to that article. Otherwise, take me back to the listing of links, but scroll me down to where I last was.

Make target area for comments icon larger. It's currently almost impossible to touch. I end up going to the article instead most of the time because I miss the comments icon.
