Tamedia: Innovations in the Tagi iPad app
The iPad app of the Tages-Anzeiger will in future be free of charge for all subscribers to the daily newspaper. In addition, the new version includes a complete e-paper of the print edition. The evening edition of the iPad edition will be cancelled.
New must be the iPad edition no longer has to be purchased in addition to the newspaper subscription, but is included in it at no extra charge, Tamedia said in a statement on Wednesday. Subscribers to the print edition will thus in future have free access to the content of the Tages-Anzeiger specially prepared for the iPad every day from 3 a.m. at the latest. However, it will still be possible to purchase only the iPad edition of the Tages-Anzeiger with a weekly, monthly or annual subscription without subscribing to the print edition.
Evening edition canceled
The online platform of Tagesanzeiger.ch/Newsnet is integrated directly into the app. This replaces the previous evening edition of the Tages-Anzeiger on iPad, which, according to the announcement, was little used in contrast to the morning edition. As another frequently requested improvement, the revised version of the app includes the daily edition of the Tages-Anzeiger in newspaper layout as an e-paper. The iPad app was launched in mid-July 2011.
