As part of an ongoing effort to share the prophetic word througha variety of channels, the Church is making available two prototype apps that feature magazine content.
Both apps are designed exclusively for tablets and feature the October 2011, November 2011, and May 2012 issues--in other words, the Book of Mormon issue and the two most recent general conference issues.
The apps offer an immersive magazine experience; for instance, users can read while listening to an audio file of the same text. In some articles artwork associated with text is presented asd a slideshow; in others, artwork is shown in high resolution, allowing users to scroll across screens to examine it in detail.
both apps are designed for use on either the Android or Apple platforms. Both will be available through the Android Market and the Apple Store.
