It crashes too often - I'll enter a group and it will start fetching 
headers, then will just pop out of the group to the groups list or out 
of the program entirely.

The microscopic font in the tree view is FAR FAR too tiny for me to 
read on my phone. 

The list of articles shows weird dates - I guess it's the date of the 
original article in the thread, but that's not useful to me. I want it 
to show the date of the most recent article.

It nags me about every 4th startup to buy the full version. I might be 
tempted to do so but for the the issues I have with the free version. 

It doesn't seem to be being developed any more, so I guess the issues I 
have with it won't be fixed.
