In PressPad, we’ve published hundreds of news apps, thousands of digital issues, and served millions of readers, worldwide. Drawing on years of practical experience we are putting into publishers’ hands the brand-new advanced mobile app, enhanced with useful features and modern look. The goal is to distribute magazines on Google Play even more effectively.
Building this digital publishing solution we decided to focus on PDF files usage. The reason was that this format is well known and mostly used by publishers and authors as sources of online content. This is also a good foundation to create a dedicated mobile magazine app available for Android smartphone users.
Are you curious about the effect?
Come and see what PressPad’s new magazine app solution looks like.
New PDF-based magazine app for Android
Magasinet Norske Hjem is a Norwegian interior magazine providing content related to architecture, gardening, and design. They’re masters in diversifying their distribution channels – you can read the content on their website, on different social media channels, and also in the magazine app built by PressPad.
What makes this magazine app unique?
- the general look of the app is modern and clear thanks to issues presented in two transparent rows you can swipe to look through the whole library,
- miniatures of covers are sizable, and thus clear and visible,
- each magazine number has little icons on the right which mean: preview option (blue) and the possibility to buy (green); there’s also the possibility to add an icon meaning the latest issue/issues (which is orange),
- after expanding the left side app panel, you’ll find a social media feed; you can either scroll down or go directly to Facebook and/or Twitter by just one click,
- on the right, there are filter options, which organize content for individual preferences according to categories: all, to buy, available to download, downloaded, and by default, A to Z, Z to A.
Feel free to explore this app yourself; download and go trough Magasinet Norske Hjem.
