Pros and cons of Irish Independent News app for iPhone and iPad
Irish Independent News app good for
Super App. Particularly when travelling alot. Fast and efficient
Keeps me up to date with news at home - Good layout - could have been a little cheaper than € 2.39
Independents app scores equal with - actually SUPERIOR to Fox News Mobile. With Independents easy text size button, readability is just plain easy. All the beauty and speed of access is here. News doesnt get quicker than this.
I am updating my review. I emailed my complaint that the app was crashing and they responded promptly.
The app now works great and is worth the $$. It is a great one stop source for Irish news.
Complained before when there was no offline ability. That has been corrected. Great app now.
Excellent for staying on top of whats going on around Ireland and the world.
Some bad moments
Last 3 versions are full of bugs. Ever since the new bottom banner advertisments were added it crashes when loading them. Please fix or remove! This used to be such a great app....
Objectively this is not journalism but more of a product.
This app uses push notifications to send all the most sensationalist stories to you, lacking facts.
Ive had it for a few months and it doesnt take a genius to notice that the phrasing of the headlines for the most part is grotesque.
Itll leave you feeling worse off, generally, because of their approach to journalism and wouldnt advise downloading it for that reason.
If you like to be bombarded with the notifications of any pseudo-writers half attempt at a story (with little or no facts included) this app is otherwise well designed and functions appropriately.
Its a shame that the voice of Irish news would be so cluttered with junk advertising thats its next to Impossible to view this app with any sort of reasonable viewing- better to stick to CNN or BBC if you want an uncluttered news app
App crashes as soon as you click on a story to read. Using ipod touch latest software....can I have my money back please...
That someone at the Indo thought it OK to charge $2.99 for this app is a sign that Ripoff Ireland is alive and well. The developer should take a look at the CNN app or any other app for that matter. Dont waste your money until this app improves.
The good: Stories loaded quickly
The bad: Not many stories or sections compared to the NY Times app, its very limited.
