Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) October 26, 2010
cleveland.com has launched an iPhone app with real-time local news, sports, entertainment, business, features and opinion articles and photos from The Plain Dealer â plus links to local classifieds listings.
The cleveland.com iPhone app features content from the number one Cleveland news and information website in affiliation with The Plain Dealer and Sun News. It is available for download at no charge in the App Store. The app was developed and launched with Advance Internet and Verve Wireless, and versions of the app for Android and Blackberry devices are planned for future release.
âWeâre excited to be releasing this iPhone app as the next phase in our unending commitment to reach the mobile user, providing the content they want, when they want it, and how they want it,â said Wayne Snow, general manager of cleveland.com. âAs we always have, weâll continue to be informative, fun and user friendly, and the mobile app fits right in-line with those efforts. We expect to expand our base of users, and keep them engaged. This Verve Wireless solution helps us to do that.â
The app includes social features for the audience to share content via Twitter, e-mail and Facebook wall posts. Users also can use their phones to shoot video and photos and submit them through the app to cleveland.com.
Content on the app includes news coverage of local communities throughout the Cleveland area, high school sports, local pro and college teams (such as the Browns, Cavaliers, Indians and Ohio State) and entertainment coverage of TV, movies, music and the local arts scene. It also includes local advertising and links to classifieds listings of jobs, new and used autos, and homes for sale and rent.
When the app is opened, it very quickly downloads articles and stores them in the device so they can be read later, even when the device is not connected to the internet. The app also can be customized for one-click access to the categories that most interest you.
