New Time Magazine app, but it needs work

Time Magazine have launched the Time Mobile app for Android.

I just tried it out on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and it appears to need some work. It exhibited some strange behaviour, like kicking me out of one article and loading a different article for no apparent reason.

Also, the content in some articles had no paragraph breaks so displayed as one really long page of solid text. Not a nice reading experience.

After using it for about 10 minutes I realised my phone was getting quite hot. I checked Task Manager and saw the reason why - Time Mobile was using 48% of CPU resources!
 
The app "World Newspapers" is great for all kinds of web content, magazines, and feeds. Time works well with it. Make sure you're not syncing/caching "tons" of old articles, some apps will do that, but usually have a setting to do it manually or set a limit.
