Some improvements

This is a solid start. I especially love the events. A few ideas:
-This needs to be iPad native
-There’s no good reason the articles in the Articles tab shouldn’t just display natively in the app instead of going out to a browser. This is a bad decision
-For events, it would be great to see richer coverage. For example, when clicking on an event, we should see all stories associated with that event. For earnings calls, there should be a link to a livestream (and then the follow-up article).
-One quibble...since the app does more than just Top 10 it would be nice to see its name and icon changed to just The Information

Excited to see how this grows!

Sycophants for big tech

I was expecting The Information would have a deep understanding of how the tech industry works, as well as insider knowledge you couldn’t find in other media. And in that they succeeded. But I was ALSO hoping they would use understanding and knowledge to create hard-hitting journalism that held tech to account like no other publication could. And in that, they failed.

The Information just fawns over and fetes tech, like everybody in the tech echo chamber wants and expects (and I say this as a tech insider). Sadly, this is just yet another VC newsletter self-aggrandizing tech. There’s no real journalism going on here. Too bad, as we’re in desperate need of someone knowledgeable who can finally hold our industry to account.

Reading in a browser is better

While The Information articles are top notch, when the reading experience on a browser is better than the reading experience in your native app then you’ve got a problem. This app loses formatting from the original article, doesn’t have the option to bookmark articles for later (or offline reading for that matter) and is missing all kinds of functionality like a native video player or account management. Please add some of these features that already exist in the browser!
