Its great to have Time content with me wherever I go, but there are some things I really dislike about this app:
1. Cover (and other) animations that play audio, even when my phone is on mute. Just kill the cover animations altogether. They feel hokey and bloat the download. But if you must include them, please, please, please respect the mute setting on my device.
2. No in-app dictionary access. Its ridiculous that I cant highlight a word and get a definition.
3. The inline inserts really disrupt the reading experience. How am I supposed to navigate a multi screen graphic and then pick up mid sentence? That stuff should be in a popover accessible from an inline link.
4. The navigation model is broken. Throw it away and start over. Id prefer to scroll articles. The News app does a better job presenting Time content than the Time app.
5. Evidently my in-app subscription does not entitle me to full time.com access. Lame.
6. The downloads are way too big. No way should one magazine worth of content take 200 MB. Focus on the content, not the multimedia.
