Having a mobile app is great for customizing the reader’s experience, increasing your brand’s discoverability and increasing the credibility and awareness of your brand. This latest technology provides the most material at the most advanced stage of digital speed and capacity. They have everything that is in print editions and more like extra photographs, audio and video. But it is not at all simple to adapt print publications to apps. A large part of the problem was the ratio of the screen resolution: they possessed both a “portrait” (vertical) and “landscape” (horizontal) view, depending on how the user held the device. Then the screens of smart phones are much smaller than those of tablets. Unwisely, many publishers ends up producing six different versions of an editorial : a print publication, a conventional digital replica for Web browsers, a digital replica for landscape viewing on tablets, a digital replica for portrait viewing on tablets, a version for smart phones, and an ordinary HTML pages for their websites.
Software development of apps is much harder than publishers anticipates, because they have to hire web developers who have technical expertise. Using a custom developer to build your app can be great. It can also be expensive (think $10-100K), and if your app developer only creates for iOS, you’ve got to hire someone else to build you an app for Android or BB. Even custom built apps also take quite a bit of time to build (approx 3-6 months).
So what about using a platform?
Digital Publishing Platform
Platforms can be great, especially when it comes to maintaining and updating content. Platforms allow you to easily translate your content into an app viewable version on many devices. With varying degrees of difficulty (some platforms require technical knowledge) you can add levels of interactivity to make your content come to life.
Many platforms perform underrated when it comes to utilizing the social and mobile tools available to allow your readers to share easily, drive awareness and increase subscriptions. Links takes readers outside of the app resulting in losing the reader and sharing tools are often rudimentary, making readers, again leave the app to share, or only allow sharing on Facebook and Twitter, not other social networks, email and SMS etc which are the most common way people share with their friends.
