Top 5 Newspaper and Magazine Apps for the iPad
1. The New York Times: NYT Editors’ Choice
The New York Times iPad app is one of the most popular newspaper apps because of its price (free!) and functionality. The app downloads a selection of the top tech and business stories each day, along with editor-chosen features, opinion pieces and more. The touch screen makes it easy for users to view slideshows and videos that accompany many stories. Images and articles are synched, allowing users to view them without a 4G or Wi-Fi connection as well.
2. WSJ for iPad
The Wall Street Journal app has both a free version and subscription version, each offering amazing content and coverage of worldwide news. The free version of the app includes a “Now” feature with daily updated coverage, market data with a customizable watchlist, videos and slideshows. For $3.99 per week the app updates with Opinion, Markets, Business sections, a seven-day archive that’s downloaded to read offline, the ability to save sections or entire articles and a My Journal section that allows the user to share articles across mobile devices. This functionality makes the WSJ a must-buy for tech-savvy businessmen.
3. Men’s Health App
The Men’s Health iPad app costs $4.99 and includes workouts, advice, feature-length stories and more with interactive features on every page. Real-time polls, videos, photos and Twitter and Facebook capabilities are included as well. For only $5 this app is a real steal and is sure to please anyone that regularly reads Men’s Health or wants a new way to get workout advice and instructional videos. The style of the app is very impressive and it’s actually an improvement over the magazine. The embedded how-to videos for workouts are one of the best features of the app. You’ll also find exclusive behind-the-scenes content for many articles.
4. TIME App for iPad
The TIME app, at only $4.99, delivers on all of its promises to provide the same content of the weekly magazine with even more photos and video, allowing readers to flip through magazine sections, zoom in on text and photos, and gain access to more information in a straightforward manner. New updates to the app include a table of contents with geographical “hotspots,” chat features, sharing, and embedded video.
5. NPR App for iPad
The NPR app offers a number of amazing features, best of all a well-made audio player that allows you to listen to programs while browsing stories at the same time. The NPR app features over 1,000 member-created streaming stations and a magazine-style presentation of content that covers music, arts and life and news. The NPR app has been designed to work perfectly with the iPad’s screen size. The audio player is positioned at the bottom of the screen for easy use and all content flows naturally without confusion.
