It's pretty good. A few user interface issues:

- The "Go To Comments" and "Return To Stories" buttons aren't styled as buttons, so it's not immediately obvious that they do anything.

- The gray bar at the top underneath the orange should really be transparent I think, it makes the top bar feel very thick and a bit clunky.

- There should be some indication that an article is loading when the UIWebView pops up. Users might not have Wifi, and it could be some time before any part of the page is rendered.

- I think the modal UIWebView should probably rise up past the top navigation bar. When you're reading an article there really isn't much need for it to be there, and every extra pixel is precious on a phone.

Nice app though overall.

Thanks for the comments, maybe icons would work better to make it obvious what they do. I'll play with that.
