Guardian readers will now be able to get their fix of news and comment on the move as the newspaper has launched a dedicated iPhone app.
The application, available from the Apple App Store for 2.39, is the first official Guardian app. It allows users to browse the content relevant to them both on and offline, with innovative search and customisation capabilities and was developed by 2ergo.
"There is no other news app like it on the App Store and the pre-launch feedback has been unbelievably positive," said Emily Bell, director of digital content at Guardian News & Media, in a statement.
"Users can personalise their homepage to get quicker access to the content most relevant to them, browse content offline, effortlessly flip through our stunning photo galleries and access every contributor; from Charlie Brooker to Polly Toynbee. I'm very keen to hear what people think of it."
Jonathon Moore, mobile product manager at the group, added: "We've worked hard to create an
app that offers our growing digital audience a wonderful new way to reach and interact with the Guardian on their iPhone and iPod Touch, and we're proud to introduce an important new addition to our digital portfolio. Key themes in the development were speed, customisation, a great design and ease of navigation, and we believe we've created the world's best content-based experience, in your pocket, wherever you are."
