THE
LATEST BUZZ
"I am so happy to see this app, finally, in action. Reading newspapers like this, in a full-size screen, that I can take anywhere easily, was my dream when I bought my iPad. It took a little over a month, but it was worth the wait. I hope every iPad user gets the word that this is more than an upgrade to an iPhone app, this is really the kind of game-changer that people were talking about when the iPad appeared. Congratulations to NewspaperDirect on a 5-star app!"
