I like it so far, for the most part. Especially that you can quickly switch between the article and the comments, which in normal browsers I'd even a hassle on the desktop. If we some day get the ability to content as well ... :)

Not to much of a fan of the colored bars for nested comments, shades of the same color (we already have an accent color on WP) might be nicer. Might also be nicer to people who are colorblind.

The address/toolbar below the article feels more like Android than WP. On WP you usually get an explanation of icons in the toolbar when stopping up because their captions are right underneath the low end of the screen. Took me a while to figure out what the icons meant which IMHO isn't that great UX. Also a reason why I like the toolbar design on WP, because it's compact and supports labels if the user needs them. Not sure how to incorporate the usual toolbar design into the current workings of the app, though.

When tapping the '...' button the animation of the ellipsis feels like it rotates around the wrong pivot. It doesn't do so when swiping to the left. Maybe that's because the scrolling left animation of the bar is eased when tapping the button and the rotation animation is not. Maybe its even easier to bind the rotation angle to the current horizontal shift of the bar (coming from WPF here, so maybe it doesn't make sense).

Clearing the browser before loading a new article would be nice. Loading takes a while and tapping on a headline just to see the old content can be a bit strange.
