Since we have changed our model of cooperation with magazines, we receive more orders for iPad applications than ever before. That is why we are going to devote one blog article to explain the whole process of ordering of iPad magazine: what happens at the backstage, what we are doing for the publishers, why and where is Apple engaged and what happens when an application with your magazine is ready in the App Store.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

No more free apps.<\/mark><\/p>\n

In PressPad, every publisher who decides to cooperate with us, buys an Apple iOS Newsstand application.<\/strong><\/p>\n

EDIT: [April 21st, 2016]. Disclaimer! This information has expired. It’s been published in 2013. Since that time App Store has changed and so does PressPad. We do not offer free plans anymore, however PressPad mobile magazine apps remain affordable for publishers<\/a> like you.<\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Ordering an iPad magazine with PressPad<\/h2>\n

To order an application, the publisher has to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \"Presspad<\/a>Create a free account in PressPad<\/strong><\/a> system. The account is created via a web browser and it could be done by any person in the publishing house, since there is no special knowledge required and the only thing needed is an internet browser.<\/li>\n
  2. Upload at least one magazine in PDF<\/strong> format and determine its price.<\/li>\n
  3. Send the order<\/strong> \u2013 In the last stage, the publisher fills in the name of their magazine, its description, chooses the subscription price for the readers and sends the order to PressPad.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2. Preparation stage in PressPad<\/h2>\n

    \"PresspadWhen all information from the publisher is sent to us, we proceed to building their application for iPad and iPhone<\/strong>. We use a well-known and reliable template that we have developed over last 2 years, and that enables us to proceed to the next stage of the process after a couple of minutes.<\/p>\n

    In this stage, we can still contact the publisher in order to discuss some doubts, complete the description, etc..<\/p>\n

    The publisher can also upload more editions of their magazine into the panel. Uploading archive editions is a very good sales technique<\/a>. There is no limit for the publishers as to the number of editions, so there is nothing that could prevent them from uploading all editions ever published into the panel.<\/p>\n

    3. Submitting the magazine into review in the App Store<\/h2>\n

    \"AppWhen the application is ready, we submit it to Apple App Store.<\/strong> If the publisher did it on their own, they would need an Apple developer account ($99\/year), some knowledge on the submission process, IT and much time.<\/p>\n

    Thanks to the cooperation with PressPad, the publisher does not have to worry about anything connected with Apple. We submit several dozens of magazines into App Store every week. It affects two things:<\/p>\n
