The Scotsman Launches iPad App

The Scotsman has launched an iPad app this week.

Featuring content from the daily title, the app will be available for free for the first 30 days and for a monthly subscription for £7.99 thereafter.  

In the ‘Digital’ section of the app, users can scroll to browse content across all channels before clicking into articles and swiping to read more.  In the ‘Paper’ section, users can see and access every page of the latest edition, and use ‘Downloads’ to read offline or ‘Archive’ to access previous editions.

Content channels include Scottish, UK and international news, opinion, sports arts and culture as well as the Scottish capital’s news and sport from sister title the Edinburgh Evening News.

John McLellan, Scotsman Publications’ editor-in-chief, said: “This is a major development which keeps The Scotsman up to speed with the latest media technology.

“Devices such as the iPad will play an increasingly dominant part in the way people access information and this is one of the most important steps forward in The Scotsman’s 200-year history.

“It is a very different experience to reading online and having been at the forefront of that newspaper revolution over ten years ago it is fitting that we are in the midst of this one.”

The Scotsman launched an app for the iPhone last year.
