Denver Post’s new iPad app ‘advances how news apps should look’

Poynter reporting: Design expert Mario Garcia has high praise for the new iPad app launched by Digital First Media’s Denver Post. “It advances how news apps should look like, it does not pretend to look like a newspaper … Bravo. … a news app appearing today does not need to remind us of the iconic newspaper look,” Garcia writes.


While that’s true, the app does carry over at least one old tradition from print — the comics.
“Comics have actually been a feature of our iPad platform since August 2011, and it’s consistently one of our top five sections,” Allen Klosowski, Digital First’s senior director of social media and mobile, told me by email. “We did have to clear separate licensing and integration hurdles, but it’s been worth it. We get a tremendous amount of positive feedback.”
