Navigation in NewsLife
There are three ways to navigate articles in NewsLife:
The navigation bar
- Back button becomes available when an article is selected and when clicked will return you to the list of articles for the selected feed.

If you have feeds inside folders each subsequent press of the back button will take you back a level in the folder hierarchy.
