Android: Crashes While Scrolling Between Articles

App continues to occasionally crash while scrolling between articles. Occurs when scrolling within a specific feed. May also occur within general unread folder. Have been reporting crashes as they happen.

Just rolled back and re-updated. Will report back. Thanks!

Still crashing, still reporting crashes. I understand Android System WebView may be buggy, but lots of apps use it, and none of them crash. Newsblur is largely unusable given how often it crashes. And this is on a Nexus with virtually nothing running in the background which could be causing issues.

Nope, no ROM (standard 5.1.1 ), and no firewall. I’ve reported over mobile and wi-fi. Now I feel stupid for having reported over two dozen times, ha. Any way to manually get a hold of one and send it?

I haven’t noticed a particular feed causing it, but I’ll pay more attention.

Thanks for keeping an eye on this issue. It really is debilitating at times.

I think it seems to happen when a swipe to a new story happens at the same time as a picture loads on the new story. I’ve also seen it when scrolling through a long story which has several pictures and I scroll fast enough to be faster than the loading.

I just did the uninstall reinstall of the web view and havent seen it happen since. Hope it stays that way.

I’ve been seeing this a fair bit as well. I’m also on a Nexus 5, was on 5.1.1 and am now on 6.0. I’ll be sure to keep reporting any crashes.

Would it be possible to use the new Chrome Custom Tabs on marshmallow? Could that help with the crashes?
