FAQs and Support
Q: Does it remove the old content when updated with a new synch?
A: On refresh, the application updates the last 30 posts by dates; so some older articles will drop off each time. It also gets fresh comments on each article.

Q: How long do the articles stay on the iPhone (does it change daily or with each synch)?
A: Content only changes when you refresh (synch).

Q: I just refreshed and it gave me 2 articles. Why?
A: If this happens, it’s a bug and we’d like to know about it. The application should always show about 30 articles. Try refreshing again; it should fix it.
