LEARNINGS

Page 26: Design & Strategy For Tablet Content: The Newspaper Is Dead. Long Live The Newstablet

THEY LOVE IT!

26

“I like the pictorial layout and easy navigation!”

“Excellent visuals. Found myself reading stories I probably would have skipped reading online but was draw in by the photos. Nice mix of news and features.”

“It’s so much better than the previous version… Much better user experience this time around.”

“This is one of the best apps and uses for an app I have ever had to pleasure to enjoy.”

“Way better than reading the news on the Website. Simple, less cluttered, well organized.”

Page 27: Design & Strategy For Tablet Content: The Newspaper Is Dead. Long Live The Newstablet

THEY HATE IT!

27

“You’re going to start charging for what was free? Laaame!”

“I loved the previous app. It wasn’t the prettiest, but it was efficient.”

“This is one of the best apps and uses for an app I have ever had to pleasure to enjoy.”

“It’s sad to me that they ruined this app. The first was version was so much better. Now you get yesterday’s news after waiting way too long. Much of the customization I loved in the first is now gone.”

IN HINDSIGHT

28

• Should the new app have replaced the old app?

• Production process is too cumbersome

• It truly is a (big) team effort

• The audience is still small

• Some advertisers are willing to experiment with you
