I used to work on this app, and I'm a little disappointed to see that not much has changed since I left. The design for the front page is jarring and visually overwhelming. This is both from a developer and user stand point. The code that puts together the list of content, ads, and web view based "dynamic" content is a real piece of work. The "Fronts" client need to be rethought out and improved drastically to overcome some of the issues in this app.
USA TODAY has been an exceptional resource for up to date news and a variety of opinions on all manner of happenings for me for several years. It has something for everyone and wonderful special articles and investigations for subscribers. I have been able to read everything from local to international stories. If you want a news provider that does not talk down or give you only one side then you cannot go wrong with USA TODAY as your go to news resource.
I want to love this, but both the app and website are buggy and inconsistent about honoring paid subscription status. Logging out and back in helps with the news section temporarily but the puzzles section never recognizes it. USA Today will not provide support if you buy through the app store and told me to contact Google, who does not respond at all. I'm out a years worth of subscription cost, can't get a refund and nobody is supporting the product. Find another news app.
