Well thought out and good navigation concepts.<br /><br />The content is a bit sparse in some areas though but I am sure that will grow over time.Robin Jewsburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01934342124206210917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1127035399849051358.post-69229223859571862652011-10-19T17:10:19.293+01:002011-10-19T17:10:19.293+01:00The Guardian iPad app is certainly well designed -...The Guardian iPad app is certainly well designed - looks good, UI is pretty good and good use of images and layout.<br /><br />However, I am still amazed that all these publishers who supposedly 'get' why the iPad is so great to use don't allow it to be the same within their newspaper/magazine apps.<br /><br />The single best thing about reading websites on the iPad is how customisable the view is with pinch to zoom or double-tap to get a column of text to fill the screen (particularly good in landscape orientation)<br /><br />Having text in a fixed size is of the past - that's what one had to put up with in print. In digital there should be no such restriction and, indeed there is none when viewing web pages on the iPad.<br /><br />That means accessing the Guardian web pages via the iPad is a far better experience than using the app.<br /><br />Add to that the fact that the content on the website is more up to date and that there is far more of it (whole sections missing from the app - technology anyone?) and the ability to read and add comments and it's sadly bound to fail.<br /><br />GNM are asking people to pay £10 a month for less than they can get for free - but nicely laid out. As big a fan of good design as I am, I'm afraid I won't be subscribing. I deleted the app when I wanted to read opinions on the Rugby world cup semi-final 10 hours after the match and the app still contained previews.nominalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1127035399849051358.post-76697005341560016792011-10-18T09:02:24.840+01:002011-10-18T09:02:24.840+01:00The app is great but I think the £9.99 pcm price p...The app is great but I think the £9.99 pcm price point is too high. I'm not sure the commercials on this are right.

Or their ideas about how things should done that fly in the face of good web practice.<br /><br />I try not to buckle but I think it's getting harder if anything - print media is facing a perfect storm and the pressure to launch something... anything is really on.<br /><br />Well done to you for delivering. The app looks great and works really well. For the record, I'd have done a live news/ comment app myself - something for the future?Will Callaghanhttp://twitter.com/willguvnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1127035399849051358.post-11269275350279480682011-10-16T16:56:01.029+01:002011-10-16T16:56:01.029+01:00I wrote up some tentative first impressions on my ...I wrote up some <a href="http://occamstypewriter.org/scurry/2011/10/16/the-past-and-the-future-the-guardian/" rel="nofollow">tentative first impressions</a> on my own blog (as part of a more broadly based piece).
