Customer Reviews
It's a good start but it can improve
It is really awesome to browse the SF Chronicle on the iPad. Navigation is really easy. The effect to change sections is nicely done. The pictures on retina display are amazing.
A couple things I really do not like:
First, ads are popping up in full screen at random times while going though the pages. It breaks the flow and it's really annoying. More over, the button to close the ad ("Tap to close") does not work every time. I must have fat fingers and not be clicking right on it because sometime tapping the button opens another ad...
Second, the app kind of feel slow. The transition between pages of a section or pages of an article always make a couple second pause to load. I wish the app would pre-load the entire section or article to avoid that.
Ok App but why pay?
I downloaded the free 14 day trial and so far its a great app. The only thing I don't understand is that why pay for this app when you can just go to web site to get news. Why can't this app be free like other news apps or like the New York Times.
Please make the app free
Random example
Watching Anthony Dixon cry months after the Niners exited the playoffs is not an inspiring sight. Did you lose the guy who was supposed to tell you that or are you just asleep at the switch?
