Nice But Buggy
I was very excited to see the news available for my iPad verses the klunky browser version I had been using. This was a great step forward. Now for the bad news....the app is extremely, extremely UNSTABLE!!! It's almost a pain to read because it CONSTANTLY crashes. Can we please fix this and make this a first class app like the WSJ and NY Times that I subscribe to on my iPad? PLEASE, PLEASE!!!

Great but.......
Good design for the most part but slow loading on incredibly fast Internet speeds and crashes 50% of the time I use it.
Not Ready for Release
The app loads more slowly than any app I have ever seen - too slowly to be practically useful. Parts of the imaged pages remain pixilated and unreadable. Worst of all, this morning's paper was not available, only yesterday's. Please fix the bugs!
UPDATE: The app crashes/closes every time I try to read the paper. PLEASE FIX!

UPDATE on previous review.
Purchased this app over a week ago from iTunes. Have not been able to log on yet. The app gives password error message. Have spoken to two managers at Birmingham news and had 6 lengthy calls to them seeking help. First they said they didnt have record of payment through iTunes. When they had that, the managers told me they would have it working that day and would call me back to verify. Neither manager did. Sixth call- they now say there is a problem with the app developer and I'm just going to have to wait until they fix it and they don't have any idea when that will be! Will gladly update my review if I can ever view the news on this app. Until then, I give it one star and if they had a zero star, I would have chosen that!
UPDATE: Josh at Bham News was able to identify problem and fixes were applied to the app by the developers. I can now read the news, which is awesome! For anyone having problems with sign in on the ipad (user name/password incorrect)- you have to click the button like you are subscribing again and a new button appears that says reset itunes sub (you are not charged for another account) Click that button and the application works! Thanks for the fix!!!!
