Commonly asked questions:<br />

<strong>Why</strong> do I need an <strong>app</strong>?<br />

Whether you are tossing up between<br />

<strong>publish</strong>ing <strong>your</strong> publication online or<br />

as an <strong>app</strong>, or have an existing online<br />

publication and are considering the<br />

benefits of adding an <strong>app</strong>, here are a few<br />

points outlining the benefits of creating<br />

an <strong>app</strong> for <strong>your</strong> publication which you<br />

may find of interest:<br />

• An <strong>app</strong> is a great way of sharing <strong>your</strong><br />

content on globally recognised and<br />

populated online stores, opening<br />

<strong>your</strong> content up to a vast market<br />

which may not have otherwise been<br />

reached.<br />

• Since <strong>your</strong> publication’s issues can be<br />

downloaded and stored locally on a<br />

tablet or smartphone device, readers<br />

are able to access this content offline at<br />

any time. Unlike an online publication,<br />

the reader will need to download an<br />

issue only once and it will remain on<br />

their device until deleted. This is great<br />

for readers who are on the go!<br />

• Your readers will not need to navigate<br />

to the publication via their browser<br />

each time they want to read it, instead<br />

it is simply accessible via a tap on their<br />

device’s home screen. Each time a<br />

reader is on their device they will see<br />

<strong>your</strong> <strong>app</strong>’s icon, meaning it won’t be<br />

easily forgotten. Also, since most of us<br />

are glued to our devices throughout<br />

the day, the <strong>app</strong>’s push notifications<br />

(letting the reader know when a new<br />

issue is available) are a great way of<br />

preventing <strong>your</strong> <strong>publish</strong>ing updates<br />

from being overlooked.<br />

• Most <strong>publish</strong>ers who check their<br />

analytics will notice an increasing<br />

percentage of their readership are<br />

accessing the digital publication on<br />

a mobile device. Unlike an online<br />

publication, an <strong>app</strong> is completely<br />

optimised to be used on mobile and<br />

tablet devices so the publication and<br />

user experience are not hindered by<br />

the limitations of a browser window.<br />

While there are numerous benefits of<br />

creating an <strong>app</strong> for <strong>your</strong> publication you<br />

should also keep in mind <strong>your</strong> target<br />

demographic and <strong>publish</strong> to platforms<br />

that meet their needs.<br />
