It is finally here (1st August 2011), the new Straits Times iPad app. If you see the recent Straits Times, they have been talking about it. Kudos to BuUuk<\/a>. Now, it is available for download at iTunes App Store. If you already have the iPhone app, just update it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, I don’t know if this is meant to be but I think the app name is super wrong. It shows ST4b93.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, I think the server is overwhelmed, I cannot load anything right now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, I will do a review later. For a start, you can see that some thoughts has been put on the app. It is actually capable of monitoring up to 20 keywords.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Currently, it is free for 5 weeks. However, if you want to read premium content, you will need to pay. Based on the settings, you can pay via iTunes.<\/p>\n

And yes, just a thing about the “opening”. It is nice to see the Singapore River, but I would prefer to head straight to the news. And if that is not possible, could you have a key to skip the nice animation? (Right now, if you touch on the screen, it will repeat itself).<\/p>\n

Update (1st Aug 4am): After installing and uninstalling for 3 times, I managed to get the subscription going (expiry: 31st Aug 2011) and the information displayed properly. I believe we have to wait a week or 2 for the app and server to stabilize.<\/p>\n

Update 2 (1st Aug 9am): They have a minor update. App name fixed. Not sure what other things are fixed. Current version is 4.0.1<\/p>\n
