Still needs work

As an update to my previous review (below) the app still almost always freezes on first opening. Requires that I throw the app off the screen (at least once) and then re-open in order to get the first story to actually load. Frustrating that this app still continues to be problematic compared to the NY Times app.

The Chron iPad app is still not as fast as the NY Times version in terms of page loading. This current version is better but there a still problems with freezing-up after opening. I still have to close the app; throw it off the screen and re-start to get the first story to actually render on the screen. However, compared to my original review (below) its definitely an improvement.

This app has a number of on-going problems that have yet to be resolved. Pages still dont render correctly on pages with banner ads at the bottom of the page. This requires that the user reset the font size so that text re-renders correctly. Otherwise text appears underneath the banner ad! This is just poor programming. In addition, the app still crashes (although not as often as before.) This app should be as good as the NY Times mobile app - but it isnt.
