It looks nice, but performs slowly on my iPad. Also when I switch orientations, the app crashes. I tried this twice. I'll restart the iPad to see if it's memory issues.
Got a tip for us?

This is by far the worst of them all. Terrible, low quality images in carousel view, and it lags beyond belief.
Not all Europeans are ignorant to what goes on in the US, I follow it quite thoroughly.
I just looked at the entire app and I am very impressed. This is the first step towards magazines truly making it to the iPad. Was this apple technology or was it a partnership with the tech guys under murdoch and apple? Either way I'm impressed. Still not sure if I will pay for it.
Any info as to when it will be available in the UK - and any ideas of a workaround to get it in the meantime...? I don't have a USA registered credit card needed to set up as USA iTunes account
You can make a US account with no payment required. Should be an option to choose No Payment Method or words to that effect. Just google a US address and you're good to go.
Sad that the bashers can't look beyond the perceived political bias to evaluate the app by itself.
Bias goes both ways, BTW.

Is the subscription per iPad or per iTunes account. My husband and I share the same iTunes account with 2 different iPads. It would be great if we can just get one subscription.
Not surprised at all it's not on the Australian store yet-maybe they're testing the " waters" with a US only release at the first and may appear on other countries app stores at a later date.
Not on the Irish app store? Maybe they think Irelands economy has had all the bad news it needs this year.
This piece of CRAP crashed on me on my first launch of it... Deleted it right away... Total trash!
The app seems like it will be nice, but it's hard to be sure from all the crashes. I'm an iOS dev too, so I can certainly sympathize, but it crashes so often I can't believe they would release it in this state. Most of these crashes should be easy to track down in a debug version.
I think you misread what they said, or else you got it from a biased news source.
CNN pays to play, thus they're biased against bad news toward whomever is paying. Remember all that bad news on CNN on Saddam's regime back in the day? Oh yeah, they didn't broadcast any to protect their access... So biased by ommission.
I really don't know where you live or where you've travelled, but every time I step onto European soil (a little more than a half dozen times), about half of the newscast is dedicated to US news.
iPad, iTunes clunky, can't buy Daily
The iPad and iTunes store don't let users update or buy apps on computers other than the one that the iPad owner originally used to download apps. If you try to update apps, iTunes wants to replace photos on the iPad with photos on the computer you're using. Click cancel, and the whole process ends. We have several Macs, and the one we need isn't with us at the moment.
Both my wife and I don't like the iPad. It is very clunky, terrible for writers and is nowhere as advertised and hyped by its fans.
I tried to buy the Daily on the iPad. It requires you to download the app on your computer. When you try to buy the app, you get a warning that you must upgrade the iPad ios to 4.2, but before that you must transfer updated and purchased apps to the iPad. But if you're on a foreign computer, you can't do that without screwing up the photos on the iPad.
This is very frustrating for someone who's been buying and using Macs for almost 24 years and has wasted nearly $700 on an iPad that just doesn't measure up.
I think that as more iPad users get fed up with the device, the fad will end.

If it's Centrist, it's necessarily Biased. Unbiased would mean no political persuasions, not pragmatic amalgamations of them.
Aside of the ****** performance, I was disappointed in that editorial. Kind of FOX-lite.
I'm not sure if this has been asked but don't feel like going through the entire thread. Does anyone know if The Daily will automatically be downloaded to your iPad every day or if you have to open the app for it to download? The biggest drawback of the NY Times & WSJ apps for me, is that if I forget to download all the content before heading into the subway in the morning, I can't read the day's new news. Anyone know if The Daily will function similarly or if it will have the ability to automatically download by itself?
It's not a "daily" app, it will update itself anytime the editors want it to. When you run it, all the data is pulled from servers. Nothing is downloaded to your device (besides cached data). It's not like the Wired Magazine app or anything.
