(This will avoid long delay which user may think is a crash.) You won't see this issue once the data is cached. But you will the first time into the screen. (can refresh app during debug to see.) Five page items takes a little under five seconds to load prior to displaying page 1 screen because all five image headers are being loaded from URLs. Note: Going to see if I can reduce image size further, (already pretty small 30-40k) but hard to get much smaller and work well with the top as designed. Also need to keep the images loading from URL (as opposed to included in app) as content will constantly change. -------- Maybe part of the issue is that the [self showProgress]; does not display ?? -------- Running on BT Hosted iPhone5 iOS7 Title Comments Anyone who has this plugin have any idea how to modify newsDigest.m to load only the first 1 or 2 page items and then display the first page screen prior to loading the remainder of the pages?

You might then know where to dig into the code for self-tweaking. Comments Look at the log, see if the loading order is sequential or parallel.
