Thanks - I've used - 3HLAMPWWE3X6. I'll test and provide a review in a bit.

Really like the app. I echo what was said before, don't like the header. I get what you're trying to do with newspaper, though a cleaner font would work better. Look at the UK gaurdian app in newsstand for inspiration. I would also suggest images in the article though again it may take away from the newspaper feel. The flipping doesn't always work, it opens an article on the odd flip try. I would love to see: - Insta…

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Like I've already commented its great to hear from you and see which of the features I think are important are also important to people who have tried the app.

This is a blatant copy of my web app Hacker Newspaper.

Nice work! I'm using the app right now to add this comment. I agree with all the feedback so far, but it's still worth the money even in its current state.

Feel free to email me at sam@sammcd.com if you would like to discuss this more.

I just want to say that I did not use your app as a source at all when designing my app, but I did use newspapers.

What percentage of the profits are you giving "iamgilesbowkett" since you've created a facsimile of his idea from 2009?

A newspaperish grid layout hardly seems like something that's unique enough to go around accusing someone of ripping it off from you. Or did you rip off the New York Times et al?

Your web app is a blatant copy of paper publishing that's been going on for decades. Get real, dude.

A) is http://hacker-newspaper.gilesb.com in there?

B) I used to curate a pretty large list of Hacker News mashups that you might get some mileage out of: http://gilesbowkett.blogspot.com/2009/11/hacker-news-mashups...
