Distribution Platforms

From one simple upload, content can be delivered to your own branded app on Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android), plus Pocketmags and Amazon Newsstand. We handle all submission, maintenance and management of the app - it is truly a ‘no-code’ solution for publishers.

Do I need an app?

Whilst publishers increasingly focus on new sales through direct channels, the App Stores remain valuable organic sales channels, and in many cases a source of historical recurring revenue. Apps also provide a number of additional benefits for readers - whether through the App Store or direct from the publisher (e.g. print + digital bundles) - including offline reading, push notifications and  a native reading experience on phone and tablet.

Your branded app

Our technology provides a slick and modern storefront for publishers, with customisable in-app branding to ensure it is ‘on brand’. The homepage prominently displays your subscription and single issue purchase options, and offers a number of modular features such as featured articles, banner adverts, special issue section, RSS newsfeed, search and rich in-app messaging.

Reading experience

A strong mobile reading experience has never been more important. At the same time, mobile edition creation needs to be quick and easy; not an additional, resource-heavy workflow. Simply upload your PDF issue and we do the rest, creating a native article reading experience, available on all platforms and perfect for mobile. Readers can still enjoy the replica view - to maintain the traditional magazine experience - or toggle to article mode for scrolling, adjustable text, night mode and read-aloud (also compatible with accessibility settings such as Voiceover).

Getting started

Whether you’re new to app publishing or already have an app, we focus on making digital publishing easy, with apps typically live within just 2 weeks.

If you have an existing app we simply build over your current app, this ensures all of your existing in-app subscriptions continue uninterrupted. This is a well trodden path, with hundreds of titles seamlessly transferred to date. Contact us today to discuss your requirements!
