The Texas Observer Reviews

by ZZTop_Fan

The Observer claims to be fiercely independent news. It is not! It is a fierce partisan Secular Progressive propaganda organization trying to use the cover of being an unbiased news organization. They champion secularism and radical left progressivism and savagely attack anyone and anything that runs counter to their ideas. If you are woke, you will have your twisted beliefs reenforced and regurgitated. No news here jus propaganda!

How are people supposed to use this if you can't sync your subscription in iOS 10. As of January 2017, the developer has no ETA on when they will fix it and iOS 10 came out in September 2016!!!

I was excited to have the chance to see the Observer. It’s indicated that it’s “free” with in-app purchases. No, anything you want to see is $1.99 an issue, or $19.99 for a year. This is a simple fraud, and the Apple App Store shouldn’t allow this kind of “bait and switch.”

Love the articles, was tricked into resubscribing on itunes when i already had a print and digital subscription that goes into next year. Difficult to read without zoomimg in a ton.

Looks like TheTexasObserver doesn't work anymore. I bought the most recent issue through the AppStore but have been unable to download/view it. The built-in free issue from last year works though if anyone wants to read that. :)

Liberals in Texas? Who'd a thunk it? Austin must be their sanctuary city.

The Observer on the iPad is nicely done. To get the most space for its trenchant observations, the paper Observer uses a small type size. Hence, I particularly like that you can zoom the text to fill the screen.

I haven't seen the download problems other users have seen.

Once all of the new issues are downloaded, the Observer app is quite smooth.

I like that it has both the high quality magazine and the web site built into a single app. I can Observe Texas from one place. I know where to go to get the straight skinny on our great state.

My first "aha" moment reading subscription printed media on an iPod came on a trip to San Francisco about a year ago, when I was missing my morning WS Journal delivery back home.

Within a few minutes, I was happily reading the Journal using TheTexasObserver . And, surprisingly, I really didn't miss the paper version at all.

I recently had a similar experience with the Observer, something I did not subscribe to, but liked to read. I grabbed the Observer app, clicked on the issue I was interested in, and was reading it within a minute or so. I found the interface clean, simple, and intuitive. I’m now completely sold on the concept of reading on a mobile device.
