Customer Reviews

A Good Start (3 stars)
A good start, and will hopefully be improved as time (and updates) go by.

As for people panning the App because they hate Rachel, it's like saying
a chess App is horrible because you hate chess. In other words, you aren't
reviewing the App at all. Instead, you're just venting your personal (hate filled)
political views to the world at large.

Not Bad (3 stars)
Rachel's great, though I'm not sure about the developers for this. Any iPad app, for me, loses at least a star if it locks you into portrait mode as does this one. Needs landscape. Homepage is busy. The rotating banner at the top scrolls way too fast even for a quick reader. Worthwhile app? For Rachel, full shows, clips, etc., YES. A cool feature would also be easy-to-find graphs and stats used in the broadcasts.

Maddow - Perfect Coffee guest (5 stars)
Rachel would make a wonderful guest to chat about the world's affairs.

But getting back to the app. Nicely designed, I like having access to NBC news. As good as the CNN app. (Please Rachel, never move to CNN though)....
