ReadItNow! updated to version 7.7 with a new grid cover theme, fixes and improvements

Looking for a new app this weekend? This is an app that has been regularly updated the past few months, showing a very dedicated developer - which I welcome very much. It's an app I use daily and it really is nice to see it still gets some love from the developer. If you don't know what it is all about, ReadItNow! is a third party Pocket client that allows you to save articles to read later. You can tag articles to find them quickly and they sync to your account so you can access your unread articles whatever device you use.

This latest update brings a handful of things. Some new things, as well as bug fixes and improvements.
