USA TODAY was updated on Jan. 2, 2013 and has 147 customer ratings with an average rating of two out of five stars.

I really enjoyed the Snapshot feature, which allows you to scroll through the daily selection of Snapshots and then vote on the poll questions. It was a great interactive feature that got me involved in the news and the reading community.
