Customer Reviews
Cobbled together by infants?
Pros: some huffington post content
Cons: one of the worst UIs of any iPhone app, far and away the worst of all the news reader apps.
1. Articles consistently link to outside URLs, but you are forced to stay within the confines of the app (ps - try at least to link us to mobile site URLs that will be formatted correctly)
2. Video links don't work half the time
3. Often uses embedded pictures that are too wide for the app's screen!
4. The fact that HTML code is visible on a daily basis in article headlines is an utter joke.
Overall this app gives the impression that it was put together in one evening by a child, and not one of those genius types - I mean a complete bafoon.
PS - look at the positive reviews of this app, you can tell these "reviewers" have no significant time using the app. Someone from the huffinington post investigative (or human resources) staff might want to look into who is posting such positive reviews on an app with broken links, broken videos, incorrect photo formatting, no landscape orientation ability, and mis-spelled headlines.
At last!
As an avid huffpo reader I can't tell you how grateful I am that you guys finally released an iPhone app! So much easier and less time consuming than trying to navigate the website in the iPhone's web browser. Huffpo represents the future of the news gathering media and you guys have already established yourselves as one of the best news organizations in the country. Congrats and thank you!
The best online newspaper
The app could be polished though. It needs to be as polished as the USA Today app and it will be perfect.
