First let me talk about the pros.
The UI is incredible. It is sleek and intuitive. It is interactive in many ways- video, audio, polls. The daily gets it when it comes to what should be a standard on the iPad. Of course, it has the standard feature of being able to share via email, twitter and Facebook. I like that you can post audio comments as alternative to text. It has a "carousel" view which is reminiscent of cover flow in iTunes. It is set up in categories like sections in a newspaper (news, opinion, weather, etc.) The weather section is also an interactive experience that I enjoy. sports is also pretty decent. You have the option of customizing your sport section using your favorite teams, so that you only see what you want. I want and I love a great interactive experience...that is why I have the iPad. I also love up to date content....which brings me to the con.
The Daily lags in the area of news. Currently I have 8 news apps and secretly I had hope that The Daily would replace them when it comes to up to the minute news and content. Some of the stuff that i am reading about the next morning, were information that i saw on another app. I don't want to be behind in the news when TD finally publishes their content. I might as well read from the newspaper.
The Daily is free for two weeks and then it goes to .99 per week or 39.99 a year. this will not be a bad price at all, if they spend more time on content.
