Practically no navigation
I had no illusion that I would access Newsweek content for free with this app - if you want that, try their website, folks. I did want the convenience of reading an issue now and then on my iPad paying less than the cost of the print version, and will probably still use it.
That said, this is a pretty lame application - perhaps Newsweek should indeed charge for it and give the current issue "for free" if that would give more resources for developing a better app.
Theres no tappable TOC, just a static version of the printed version. If you want to read an article on page 77, youll have to eyeball its location by tapping away at the page thumbnails at the bottom of the page.
Even the Spectator, whose app is not much more sophisticated, has a better system. That said, for a good example of a to-iPad transition, check out Der Spiegel.
