It is a bit of a slow app for sure. I'm liking it, though. I like the mix of story and video. Even the ads have been on the "cool" side. What I like about The Daily is that it's bringing me back into the world of general news. It's more like a magazine than a web site.
If I do subscribe, and I might, part of my motivation will be to encourage MORE such apps.
It is missing a tech section, but Flipboard with my Google Reader rss feeds does a terrific job of the tech news anyway. I like the daily precisely because it's not bringing me exactly the news I'm looking for. RSS feeds are great for that. But in a way, I get disconnected from the world as I don't watch the evening news on tv, don't read the newspaper, and my RSS feeds are all tech.
I like the quality of the stories much better than on USA Today, which allegedly isn't going to be free forever. And I like it a lot better than reading web based news sites. I just do.
$1 a week is priced right too.
