DIE ZEIT mit neuer App

DIE ZEIT mit neuer App
 For it was time to think about for the time to how they want to present their content on the iPad. (You had to choose only the practical choice between PDF and "Plain Text" view), although there is some time an app for this purpose, but the first attempt was not particularly successful. Sufficient for the online content, but here it's about to get the content delivered to the "printed" output.The new test has now become quite good - my feeling is currently the second best newspaper app for the iPad (still in first place: the Frankfurter Rundschau). [1]The focus was mainly on the "newspaper phrase" directed: A sidebar takes up to each article supplements the actual article text is "reader-friendly" therefore. In portrait mode, a slightly smaller font size is used in a longitudinal format is all set to something bigger, because under the TIME readers are probably also many who wear glasses. Here one could let the user adjust the font size itself - but that is perhaps even more.Kind are the "bookmarks": You can close the app and proceed to run again at the desired location with the reading. Under "My time" our own mini-archive is to be understood: you can have any article to the "Read-Later" option and then not only must again rummage through the entire issue. For their own archives an attractive table of contents is generated - this area is quite successful. The search function is fast and shows thumbnails along with the references.The TIME magazine is included, there is something bold and daring in the field of animation more.My main criticism is the lack of export possibility of individual articles. With some topics will "continue working" and I want you to not call the app. Okay, since you are - also within the app - can download the PDF version of the 1:1 current issue, you can then remove the bits you want - this is awkward. Well, the app will surely get an update - perhaps the desired function is indeed there.For € 2.99 per issue (app version, PDF version, plus audio files of selected articles), the digital subscription price is okay - nothing needs to be purchased through iTunes, because Apple has now relaxed its subscription rules. And you always know on Wednesday evening, which is on Thursdays in the newspaper ...
