Daily Telegraph Announces iPad App

[Maura]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqQTukrlCqI&feature=player_detailpage]YouTube - Telegraph iPad edition[/ame]​

The UK’s Daily Telegraph newspaper has today announced the new premium version of its iPad app. The app will be available seven days a week, and will have all of the Telegraph's main features, such as news (obviously!), business and sport coverage, comment pages, letters, obituaries, and much more. The app will also feature rich digital imagery, including video graphics and picture galleries that will be specially created for the iPad app, and reader favourites such as the Matt and Alex cartoons in a gallery format, and the famous Telegraph crosswords (Quick and Cryptic), which will have a stopwatch so that you can time yourself. The app even has a night mode to enable you to read in darker conditions.

The initial app is free to download, but you’ll have to pay for each edition you read. One edition will cost £1.19 ($1.99) to download, or you can save more than 70% by paying the monthly subscription of £9.99 ($16.99). Subscribers to the print edition of the Telegraph will have completely free access to the app after entering their subscriber code.

Help

I am trying to use this forum. I have now tried to use the new app. However,
in all instances I am getting this message:
1.Your account may not have satisfactory privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access admintrative features or some other privileged system?

2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account or may be waiting activation.

What am I to do?

Dang. I've been reading the free version for 6+ months. I suppose this now means I would have to pay $$ to read each edition. I'll pass.

I thought by subscribing you had access to extra stuff and the free version was still available? if not that sucks

Personally I think The Times app is far superior, in particular The Sunday Times app, 30 days free trial then a whole month for £1 followed by a digital monthly subscription of £8.66...

I just took a look at it. I couldn't find it on my iPad at first and thought it had gone, but they've changed the app icon (it's now black & white, not red). If you click on it you can see the front page, but if you want any more than that, you have to subscribe. The Matt cartoon is on the front page, so at least that's still free.

Yes - it was too good to last. What happened if you didn't update the app - would you still get it free????

Good question - I'm not sure. The update arrived with a whole bunch of others (7 or 8 of them, IIRC) and I stupidly clicked on "update all" instead of reading the details carefully.

Yes - I did just the same. OK - so it's probably an app that's about to be deleted...

You could always delete the app from the iPad, sync with iTunes and copy over the older app version. That is, if the iPad has been synced with iTunes.

That was mean - I can see you know my antipathy towards iTunes - yes, I messed up!! Sync - what is that? Connected my iPad to my PC day one and, since then, never.....

When the iPad is connected to iTunes, does iTunes automatically sync and transfer the newest apps. But as opposed to the iPad, does the desktop have a Recycle Bin. The desktop always has two file versions, the newest one in iTunes and the previous version in the Recycle Bin. So whenever you accidentally update an app, you can restore the older .ipa from the Recycle Bin, delete the app from the iPad and than resync to transfer over the older app version.

But either syncing, or even downloading the apps from time to time onto the desktop iTunes can prevent this.

Oh, well good things never last I'm afraid. I liked reading the app when it was free so I will have to pay now! I'll just add it to the pile of bills that my iPad has built up already. I was never a big newspaper reader and only read the local free paper. Why can't The Telegraph have a free copy and put loads of adverts in it to pay for it like my free local paper. Money makes the world go round I suppose( heck I've got that Cabaret song in my head now)

It's good but for weekend editions there is a lot you don't get digitally - why?

Property, travel, weekend etc

Sort of defeats object!

I didn't like the application much, because when we talk about the content Daily is providing to the subscribers it is not upto the mark. Most of the news we have are not updated, and there is some issue with the features as well.
