Hundreds of iPhone and iPad users have rushed to download the new state-of-the-art Shropshire Star digital newspaper app.
The app, which comes with one week’s free handheld device access to Shropshire and Mid Wales’ favourite regional paper, has been given the thumbs up by customers.
Once the free app is downloaded from iTunes to an iPad or iPhone, users can flick through the pages of the most recent electronic edition of the paper.
Shortly after each newspaper is published, readers can get a pixel perfect replica of the newspaper to view the latest news, sport and opinion even when offline.
Since the app was launched to the public on Monday, five star ratings have been posted on the App Store website by impressed users.
Customer Cazywaz said she had downloaded “a great little app”.
“Well done to you all, a great app for the local people of Shropshire.”
Once the one week free trial is up, subscribing to the newspaper via the iPad app costs £1.49 per week or £3.99 per month.
The app comes with a host of features, including an archive to view recent back issues and the option to save pages or editions to the device.
The iPad and iPhone technology mean users can scroll through the pages, zoom in and out or turn the device to view a double page spread.
Readers can use a smart search facility to find the story they want either from the latest edition or the papers in their archive.
Users can be sociable with the app by sharing content with friends on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, or send articles via email. iPhone customers can also the app for free, with the same charging structure as the iPad.
