No stories
Really like the swissinfo.ch site, but unfortunately this app doesnt really work, half of it doesnt refresh.

Network Error
I used to use an older version of this app, but I just get a network error trying to use it now. Too bad, since I dont have this trouble with any other app.

Too radical/socialist
I love keeping up with the latest ongoing events in Switzerland but this particular site seems incredibly left-leaning, uninformed and biased. Im also not crazy about the strange sidebar menu format.

Excellent content, meh app
I like Swissinfo, a good mix of balanced reporting, and one of the only places to get a full picture of the issues affecting Switzerland (in English!). As a English-speaker living in Switzerland I am thankful that it exists. The app on the other hand could be a lot better. It limits how many stories you can see at once, doesnt seem to allow scrolling of any kind (hello, whats wrong letting people scroll the text vertically? Why force viewing in "screens" ... especially when you only use 50% of the space to show actual article text?). The right-hand navigation is rather odd and too small to interact with easily. Not a very usable experience. So Id suggest heading over to the excellent swissinfo.ch, which works great in mobile safari.

very good, could use minor tweaks.
I like the layout and content, very pleasant to use overall. The app will truly stand up to its potential when it is upgraded to utilize the retina display on the new iPad. Until then the text will appear a little fuzzy.
