Südostschweiz app with kiosk

Südostschweiz Medien is also working on an app for smartphones.
Südostschweiz Medien publishes various daily and weekly newspapers, several magazines and operates the two radio stations Radio Grischa and Engiadina, Tele Südostschweiz and the regional internet portal Suedostschweiz.ch.

The "Südostschweiz Medien" kiosk app was launched to make these media - with the exception of radio and television stations - accessible on iPads and Android tablets. This allows all daily and weekly newspapers to be read conveniently as e-papers. In a first step, the e-papers will be offered as PDFs. At a later stage, they will be enriched with additional multimedia content and other useful features, according to a Südostschweiz Medien press release.

Subscribers can read "their" subscribed newspaper title free of charge. Other titles are also free or can be conveniently paid for via a central prepaid credit. Purchases can also be made via iTunes or, in the case of the Android app (coming soon), via Paypal. Registered users can access all purchased e-papers centrally, i.e. they can be accessed on different devices via their own central user account after purchase.

The next step will be the integration of Radio Grischa and Tele Südostschweiz. In addition to the live streams, the podcasts will also be accessible. Further features and apps for other platforms (Windows, Blackberry) are in the pipeline. Apps for smartphones are also in the works.

The apps were designed by the internet agency Südostschweiz Newmedia and developed together with partners.
