Big fan of the site - finally on the iPhone
Big fan of the site, now I have the ease of reading on my iPhone.
Flawed
After only a few minutes of using this app, several major flaws emerged. 1) There is no way to change the font size of the newsarticles--at least not from within an article. Isn't this App Design 101 by now? 2) If you turn the iPhone on its side (the only way to get a slightly larger font size), the scrolling function won't work properly. 3) When you click on an article, it only gives you the first few lines; you have to click on "More" to read the rest, which is silly and redundant. 4) You can't read the comments on articles, but given that the comments at IHE.com are perpetually overrun by David Horowitz's army of anti-intellectual pseudo-libertarian trolls, I guess that's no big loss.
Mediocre
The app is good and basic. It takes you to the website, which defeats the purpose of having an app. It's annoying and the font is very small. But it is a good localized source of information.
