When on the comments page, I'd expect tapping the title to take me to the article, but it doesn't.
The child comment touch target is all the way to the far right, which is at the edge of the touch region on the new larger phones. Feels a bit awkward. Maybe make the entire comment the touch target for that?
Not a fan of the big black back arrow. I know it goes away, but as you scroll, it is right where you want to start reading, and feels a bit distracting. Maybe just tone it down a bit?
There's a little bit of stuttering as you scroll, which is surprising for a text list. I'm guessing it's a bug rather than actual performance issues.
I thought tapping the title and going to the article in the comments page could be counter-productive if one slightly missed the back arrow. I need to give it a thought again.
It's a good idea to make the entire comment tappable instead of just the small button. I haven't tested the app on a physical iPhone 6 yet.
I'm not sure about the arrow. It still takes up less space than the navigation bar and immediately goes away.
Main and comments views are basically a table view with UITextViews displaying attributed strings. I did my best to convert HTML to attributed string in no time, so I'm surprised by the stuttering as you scroll. It doesn't occur on my iPhone 5s. I need to investigate that.
Yeah, they were just random thoughts, I'm not sure they are all good ideas. The stuttering only seems to happen on long comment pages, when I give it a push and let it scroll. It seems to just hiccup every 100 ms or so.
