Daily - the first newspaper iPad only app - had another minor update this weekend, to Version 1.0.3. Once you have applied the update, you get a good welcome message shortly when you first launch the app. It lets you know that your free time with the app has been expanded (mine va March 21) and says that developers have been listening to feedback from users-"you spoke, we listened. He also said that the devs hopes that users get "this version faster and more stable everyday life".
Unfortunately, it is really quite enjoy in terms of improvement of the app. To begin, as with all updates to the application for the moment, the update is not delivered as a typical iPad / iOS update. You are prompted to remove your current version of the app, and then reinstall the application as the new App Store. If off it would be just a little awkward - with three updates in a row requiring this, it's more stupid pain in the rear.
I also see much evidence of 'fast' so far. The application takes about 10 to 15 seconds to launch the same when there was a problem loading update. It is still too slow. When a new issue loading (which occurs several times per day), there is always at the time of loading 25 to 30 seconds.
Carousel used for navigation in the main application is always jerky awkward to use, and pages still load slowly sometimes.
The daily always also recalled not where you left off the coast of reading every time you go back in the application and exit. It is the same, even if you switch just the app and then again it via multitasking bar. This is easily the worst miss of the app in worries me. It is simply stupid, especially when combined with the General slowness of the app. This means that if you pass the app to do nothing at all, here is the user experience:
-You were an interesting article at Midway and you switch away to check your E-mail
-Enter you on the daily switch back quickly via the multitasking bar
-The app takes 10-15 seconds to load (or 25-30 if she updated content)
-You do land on the article that you have been reading, but just return to the point of departure in the carousel of default navigation
-You drag around the carousel to find the article you were reading - which is far from being fast, because the jerks carousel and awkwardly jump while you move through it
-You find the item and type over - and wait once again while it loads, sometimes quickly, sometimes not so
Sounds crappy right? And if you just switch the app once. Now just imagine what it is as if you switch away several times while reading the newspaper. It make your hair by annoying level. He feels dumb more than anything.
Comon daily developers - get less just this thing right base, please.
Oh, and the daily also loading pages in the background correctly fails immediately after one day - if often when you click an item in the table of contents, you'll be greeted with this error:
If Yes, what is again once we designed to take advantage of here?
