Having been wildly enjoyed by Android users for a couple of months now, the amazing CNET global app today goes live for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch owners to join in the fun.
If your Apple device is running iOS 4 or later you can access the latest tech news, reviews and videos from the UK — or Asia, Australia or France, should you be unfortunate enough not to live in Britain.
The app is designed to show off all our great gadget stories, reviews, photos and videos so they look their very best on your bit of kit. You can swipe through photo galleries, quickly and easily play videos and read all our lovely words in pin-sharp gorgeousness.
You can share articles to Facebook, Twitter and email with just two clicks from any page, and you can read comments and click ‘I Want It!’ on our reviews. Because we don’t want you to have to switch apps all the time, any external links — like this amazing diabolo video from 2006 I found this morning — will open in the app too.
My favourite use of this is clicking the gorgeous test images in our brilliant camera reviews. Look — you can zoom right in on this cat’s nose!
Hit the list button in the top left and you can navigate to any section — to listen to the podcast, for example — or you can search for anything you want, such as everything we’ve ever written that includes the word ‘flange‘.
In the settings section at the bottom of that list, you can change edition to see what our amis en Paris are up to, connect your Facebook account and change the size of the text for easier reading.
Please do let me know what you think, either in an app review on iTunes, down in the comments here or over on our Facebook page.
