Pros and cons of BEST OF THE LEFT APP app for iPhone and iPad

BEST OF THE LEFT APP app good for

Really love the work Jay is doing, been a fan of the Podcast for a while. Glad to see an app so I dont have to sinc to get the latest info. Only beef is that in the movie file format I cant skip through segments I had time to see in original airing, as I can on the podcast, really like that option, pease fix. Otherwise keep doing what youre doing Jay, America needs it!
I was hoping there might have been a LITE version to try it before I bought it. No offense; it really is a terrific app, but Id have liked to test it to see if it was worth the two dollars (it was, but you can never be too sure sometimes). Five stars for the app; four for the lack of a LITE.
It is so nice to have someone comb through all the media out there and find the really top stories and humor.
If youre a fan of the podcast, this is more than worth the $2. I like the added video content that is a bonus with this app.
I love this app. I go to the gym and plug this in while I work out. I listen while I drive from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia. I am in love with this movement and people opening their eyes. Keep up the good work!
Wish the app was actually as easy to navigate as the enhanced podcast. ALl it really does is connect youto a streaming mp3 of the show. But then of course you get access to bonus content, and youre sorta helping the show.... so overall a 5! Lol

Some bad moments

Love the podcast but will go back to watching through iTunes for free. There is no convenient fast forward or rewind nor a selection for viewing videos. Another over-priced Apple app. Similar but better app free for the droid.
