Getting better, but still...
There are some major problems with this app:
1) The stories that the app loads are not a complete list of stories. I occasionally try the app to see if it is fixed. So today I opened it and got about 8 stories for today. Then the next story was for a month ago, the last time I opened the app. The app doesnt load anything in between. I then viewed the Japan Today website through a browser, and there were a number of new stories for today that the app just wont load.
2) Pull down to refresh does not load the new articles. Sometimes it loads a new article. Problem #1 still not solved.
3) There is no way to see a list of the most recent comments. This currently can only be done on the site.
4) Im signed in, but when I try to thumbs up a post, nothing happens.
5) The comment field is not a standard iOS text field. Its impossible to make a selection of text within the field, to copy. Trying to double click just expands and contracts the comment field. Very annoying.
This app looks nice is still majorly lacking in some areas, to the point that its only usable if you dont care about missing half the content from the website. Too bad, as its visually an excellent app. Unfortunately theyve chosen form over functionality.
