Have downloaded the app now having missed the hype initially. It seems to have remedied a number of the shortcomings of The Australian’s effort; in particular the ability to share articles. The Oz was a very closed system. The Daily looks very MOR; what does it stand for? Articles are very short. It’s not a serious read.

It’s still predominantly an 80 page newspaper in iPad format; I don’t think there’s any breakthrough thinking so far.

Pages look blurry in carousel view. Some welcome innovation in the game space but still only Sudoku and crosswords. The audio doesn’t seem to allow any navigation; not useful.

AppWatch? Relevant. And a Download It Now button at the foot of every review. Good thinking.

Shuffle feature an interesting browsing alternative but too slow.

The ads are multi-page interactive video (html5?) and very nice they look indeed. Some ads have a Download App button at the bottom of the screen.

At least they’re thinking about using the medium to advantage.
