If you're checking out my blog on your iPad, I have some great news: We've launched a new iPad app for the Bradenton Herald.
Thanks to the hard work of Digital News Director William Winter and a fantastic McClatchy Interactive team, the new app offers a much more "contemporary" look.
Its best new feature: It allows you to easily view videos and photo galleries.
Other new features include:
• User comments are added to articles.
• The Daily Magazine, a collection of the best national and international long-form journalism and in-depth analysis of the biggest issues of the day.
And we're continuing to offer you the most in-depth coverage of local news, weather and sports, push notifications, article bookmarking and article sharing in Manatee County.
Stay tuned for a similar redesign of our iPhone apps, and tablet-only content that we will be introducing throughout 2014.
Here's the link to our Apps page (http://www.bradenton.com/apps ) to download from your preferred App Store. While you're there, check out these other recently released mobile products (just in time for Christmas!):
