Metro ipad App

With control over what you read, the Metro iPad app allows you to select the stories that appeal to you the most. Links on the cover enable you to jump to the front page headline stories straight away, or you can browse the newspaper by scrolling through the pages, selecting the most eye catching content.

As one of the first iPad national newspaper apps to be available in the UK, Metro’s app was specifically designed to make the best use possible of the iPad, with its expanded screen space and multi-touch functionality.

The Metro app has been created with a newspaper in mind, offering digital news in a paper-like experience. It gives readers the chance to swipe between individual headlines and full stories with a single finger, whilst moving between the paper’s different sections, including News, Showbiz, Sport, Weird, Music, Film, TV and Tech, using a dual finger swipe.

Metro worked with digital design agency Fjord and mobile agency Bluestar to create the perfect app for its readers, by being both browsable and selectable. Whilst containing the news, sport and showbiz that readers love about Metro and Metro.co.uk, the app also gives readers events news and information to help them plan their evenings and weekends.

Jamie Walters, Digital Director, Metro said:
“We’re really excited to be able to give people the chance to take control of how they read their Metro with the new iPad app. The design suits those eager for the daily headlines as well as leisurely browsers.”
