Free traverse on the Post iPad app was believed to end in mid-February, but however the Post app has been updated and the iTunes Store description says the full access subscription is still provided for a narrow time.
That’s perhaps the same thing that another iPad paper, The Daily did the other day.
One speculates if the newspapers are afraid to pull the plug and see how a paid version will fare. I don’t blame them. App store reviews of both endeavours have been dreadful. Maybe they are trying to set up the in-app subscriptions Apple has allowed.
This latest update to the Washington Post app now includes the ability to read offline (duh!) and fixes the frequent crashes that plagued the software. I haven’t seen anything in either of these efforts that would convince me to subscribe when the free trial ends. How about you? Were you enticed by the apps, or are you going to dump them when or if the free trials end?
