Today we’re proud to announce the release of our first iPhone app — strike up a fanfare, band leader, it’s Crave from CNET UK!
We’ve designed the app to make it easier for iPhone users to read all the great stuff we put in the Crave section, watch Crave videos, listen to our podcast and browse our photo galleries with a swipe of your finger. Best of all, it’s free.
It’s simple to see everything we’ve published in a simple list, or by looking at a series of icons. Each represents a different topic, with a number telling you how many new stories there are in each section.
Handily, you can visit links in our stories without leaving the app. At the bottom of the screen a shortcut bar lets you get straight to the topics you care about. You can customise it so the areas you want to read about most are just a tap away. Finally, you can use the search function to find what you want from more than five years of Crave — over 9,000 stories.
The app works on iPhones, iPod touches and iPads that run iOS version 3.1 or later. You can find out more about the app on this page, but you might as well just head over to Apple’s App Store and download it for free now.
If you don’t have a compatible device, don’t feel left out. This is just the first step in our exciting plans for mobile on CNET UK — watch this space.
