The Scotsman launches iPad app

John McLellan, Scotsman Publications’ Editor-in-Chief, said: “This is a major development which keeps The Scotsman up to speed with the latest media technology. Devices such as the iPad will play an increasingly dominant part in the way people access information and this is one of the most important steps forward in The Scotsman’s 200-year history.

“It is a very different experience to reading online and having been at the forefront of that newspaper revolution over ten years ago it is fitting that we are in the midst of this one.”

The app will host exclusive opinion articles from Scotland’s leading news, politics, sport and business commentators.

Breaking news will also feature prominently with leading stories from the Edinburgh Evening News also included alongside app-unique Scottish heritage and lifestyle content.

Using the new app is simple with a ‘Digital’ option for users who prefer browsing through articles across a number of channels and a ‘Paper’ option for those who prefer to read The Scotsman as a traditional newspaper.

Every edition of the paper can also be downloaded to be read offline while there is also an archive function to view previous editions.

The Scotsman iPad app will be available for free for the first 30 days when users first download it, after which there will be a monthly subscription for £7.99.

The app is now available to view in Apple iTunes store >>
