Latest reviews of The Texas Observer app for iPhone and iPad

Wont connect
Try to buy an issue and get a cant connect to the App Store or iTunes. Gimme a break.
Liberals in Texas?
Liberals in Texas? Whod a thunk it? Austin must be their sanctuary city. The Observer on the iPad is nicely done. To get the most space for its trenchant observations, the paper Observer uses a small type size. Hence, I particularly like that you can zoom the text to fill the screen. I havent seen the download problems other users have seen. Jackie
Easy on the Eyes!
My first "aha" moment reading subscription printed media on an iPod came on a trip to San Francisco about a year ago, when I was missing my morning WS Journal delivery back home. Within a few minutes, I was happily reading the Journal using the app. And, surprisingly, I really didnt miss the paper version at all. I recently had a similar experience with the Observer, something I did not subscribe to, but liked to read. I grabbed the Observer app, clicked on the issue I was interested in, and was reading it within a minute or so. I found the interface clean, simple, and intuitive. I’m now completely sold on the concept of reading on a mobile device.
Observing just got better ...
Once all of the new issues are downloaded, the Observer app is quite smooth. I like that it has both the high quality magazine and the web site built into a single app. I can Observe Texas from one place. I know where to go to get the straight skinny on our great state. Andrew in Austin
Subscribers still have to pay for download
