Okay, I saw your developer had made another go of this app, so I downloaded it in the hope that it would at least launch. While it did launch, and while the screen immediately went right to the "Recent" setting, what came up was a black screen beneath the menu bar. Nothing else. No articles, no nothing, even if I selected other pages from the menu. Nada. Its loading content, but cant display it. Im on an iPhone 5s, so Im not certain if anything older than an iPhone 6 will run it, even with the current OS 10.1.1. Youre getting closer though - I can actually get it to load instead of spinning for half-an-hour. However, getting to read articles is still out of reach.
