You can navigate the articles in 2 ways. One is fly mode, the default. You can zoom and rotate the globe and then tap the articles to open web views. Each article is made up of a picture and a scrolling headline at the bottom. The other mode is touch, to turn it on hit the plane image in the top right corner. Once in touch mode you can rotate the rows on sphere but no longer zoom or change orientation. Again clicking a article will open it in a web view.
