I just got a new phone, a LG Spectrum, and now I have an issue - with the stock color scheme, the details under the entry are just barely visible due to being light gray. Any way of changing this? The functionality of this great app is suffering for me because of this. Thanks! Love this app and have been using it for almost two years.

I'd be quite happy to pay for such an app as I'm sure many others would too. Do you have any plans like this? Thanks Will Hey Jim,

So imagine my dismay when I saw this morning that the BBC have gone and broken it with their new Sports site redesign! Not quite sure what is happening, but when you go to a recent article it seems to download a lot of data and displays more like a full web page than the usual text summary. I (and I'm sure many others) would be very grateful if you could take a look... Hi Jim – Many thanks for this great app – as others have said it is the most used app on my phone.
