Other Comments

This is one of the first Apple Watch apps I've found that I'll actually want to use more than once. The app shows you previews of articles from your subscriptions (either sorted by most recent or oldest item), and it gives you the ability to quickly mark them as read or starred. To move from article to article, swipe up or down on the picker to move between pages. The Glance shows you only the newest or oldest article, depending on how you have the sort order configured in the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.

Far too slow in loading for watch

This is a superb app for the iPhone and iPad. I'm still using the free version and have given up with the watch version as it takes far too long to load.
Perhaps, I'm missing something but I give up with the watch and resort to the phone.
Any suggestions welcome.
