I made no secret of the fact I was no fan of the previous Newsweek app for iPad, but following the Daily Beast integration, I always assumed that they would develop a new one, and here it is. I haven’t had a chance to browse through it yet, but it promises a proper iPad edition [...]

I don’t know if I’m alone in this, but I’ve been having issues with subscriptions on iPad of late. Never mind the fact that all of the Conde Nast apps are constantly asking me with a pop-up window whether I want to “restore my purchases” every time I open the app, I’m getting other strange [...]

I’ve complained in the past about the fact that Esquire was continuing to release each new issue of its iPad edition as separate apps, and I’ve just noticed that they’ve finally released an app that allows in-app purchases.
