Bradenton Herald launches new iPad app

 

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!): 

• For iPhone 

• Android 

• Our new mobile website for iPhone and Android phones 

• Windows 8 app 

• Windows Phone app

Here's to a grand 2014! 

 

 

Smile, and you could be in CLICK!

Good morning, it’s Sunday, Nov. 3, 2013. And it’s a glorious day in Manatee County, the kind you wait for throughout the sweltering humidity of the Florida summer. (The extra hour of sleep certainly didn’t hurt, as our clocks fell back this morning...)

This weekend marks the official launch of “in-season” for our community. Crisp autumn days elsewhere bode the coming of snow and ice. Here, they bring countless choices of outdoor fund-raisers, festivals, concerts and barbecues every weekend from now until Easter. 

The perfect time, we think, to launch “CLICK!” Thanks to Features Editor JanaMorreale and East Manatee Editor Jason Bartolone, the Herald is dedicating every Friday Neighbors section to Click snapshots from that week’s featured events. Were you there? Chances are you’ll find your smiling face in one of our galleries, in print or on Bradenton.com/click.

Jason is building a network of freelance photographers to blanket Manatee County. But we also would love to include your photos of family and friends. Are you going to Taste of Manatee today? Here’s our Click gallery from Saturday’s turnout. Send us your photos from today’s throngs to Click@bradenton.com – just remember to keep them smaller than 10MB. And, if possible, include the names of everyone in the picture.

Smile – you’re in Click!
