This app is phenomenal. Other readers (e.g. Flipboard) make too many sacrifices at the altar of design. I enjoy playing with them at first but the information density just isn't high enough for me. Prismatic gets the density right without being overly utilitarian.

I only started using the web version this week so I can't speak to the intelligence component yet.

It seems pretty good, however, I have a major pet peeve with the reading layout. At least on iPhone, they stick 3 random tweets about the article right in the middle of the first paragraph. You just begin reading an article, and have to scroll through a page of tweets before you can read the rest of it. That is very annoying.

Also, how about pre-fetching the full article when I start to get close to the end of the preview? Once I'm interested in the article, I have to click a button and wait for the entire web page to load before I can read the full thing. Also, to read the full article, I might as well be using Safari because it's just a UIWebKit view. I lose all of the formatting and have to deal with the site's native formatting, which is quite jarring.

Overall, a good first attempt, but please fix some of these issues.

I had not seen the tweet injection as I tend to read less popular stuff. Having just looked at a nytimes article, would have to agree that it's quite abrasive.
