This app fails to show something, anything, within the first ten seconds, and the problem is that it can't download issues overnight? No, the problem is that it fails to show something in the first ten seconds.
This argument is a false dichotomy, suggesting that the only two options are download things overnight or wait a huge amount of time to show something. Other apps show something in the first ten seconds, so clearly there are more than two options possible here, and given that iOS doesn't allow overnight downloading, the criticism here is that the developers failed to choose the best option of those available.
Arguing that Apple should allow overnight downloading is interesting, but not related to what these developers should do.
I agree. I feel that an app that has had Apple's good name attached to it should have at least went through better testing, perhaps even by Apple themselves. The suggestion that Gruber makes about the app having a page that slowly populates with content over time is great. I hope the developers consider something along those lines.
