MLive Media Group has launched a free iPad app that delivers the latest stories, photos, videos, obituaries, classified ads and more in an easy-to-read tablet computer format.
The MLive iPad app features content from Michigan’s leading news and information properties including MLive.com, The Grand Rapids Press, The Muskegon Chronicle, Kalamazoo Gazette, The Jackson Citizen Patriot, AnnArbor.com, The Flint Journal, The Saginaw News, The Bay City Times—and the Advance Weeklies in Grand Rapids.
The app has latest news, high school, college and professional sports, coverage of TV, movies, music and local arts, opinion pieces, weather news and forecasts.
Stories have adjustable text size, and links can be easily shared through Facebook, Twitter, iMessage and email. Navigating between stories is as easy as swiping a finger across the screen or tapping a headline. Every time the app is launched, it downloads and stores the latest stories, making it possible to read stories later when not connected to the Internet.
The MLive iPad app’s presentation of photo galleries and videos is better than a traditional website, using the iPad’s entire screen to experience multimedia. More new features for the app also are in the works.
The iPad app joins a growing number of free MLive mobile products, including news and high school sports apps for Android and iPhone smartphones, as well as a mobile version of MLive for all smartphone web browsers. Readers can download the free apps at mlive.com/mobile-device or the iTunes App Store.
“The MLive iPad app is just the beginning,” said Dan Gaydou, president of MLive Media Group. “This app puts local news content in your hands in an intuitive format, allowing users to easily access the most up-to-date local news. I foresee many more innovations ahead.”
While the MLive apps and website remain completely free, an e-edition, which is a digital replica of each day’s newspaper, also is available as part of newspaper subscription in Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Kalamazoo and Jackson. While currently available with any web browser, an iPad app to read the e-edition of each paper also is under development.
