Embarrasingly horrible
New version update: Loaded up the update. Started it. Now Im looking at 6 large empty boxes on the screen that all say "(null)". The ad banner at the bottom of the screen updates every few seconds, though. Bottom line: It got worse.
Im not sure you can get any worse. First, the stories are barely whats available through RSS feeds. This app has nothing to do with the paper. Second, technical execution is beyond bad. Many stories, when selected, will only go to white screen (i.e. wont load??? or display?). Tapping around may or may not make the story text appear. Quite a few stories, when selected on the left by headline, will only display the headline in the text area on the right. In other words, there is no story beyond the headline. Then, text on the right side often overwrites other text and/or pictures, making the text unreadable. Sometimes, turning the iPad from portrait to landscape (or vice versa) fixes the problem, sometimes it persists. This is just the text portion of this news app.
Can you believe the customer service is on about the same level?
