The new Politico app for the iPad brings the world of politics to your iPad in a beautiful, polished application without all the noise you might expect from a political news app.

What you get is a front page that is cleanly presented, with the featured story taking up the most space. The other stories surround it, just as you would see in a newspaper. Most articles have at least one photo, but not all the photos are displayed on the main page. Photos and video really aren't a major focus in this app. It's all about the articles, as it should be. POLITICO is a major source for many breaking political stories.  It reads like a newspaper, but it is easy go in and out of articles.

There are still a few bugs in the app, but it is free so you can't complain about that right now.

It's free and the price is right for an app that offers the user a great experience while reading about the day's political stories.
