ipad app on a foucs website. The Future

Just wondering can’t focus put the magazine on another website, where subscriber like me,( or anybody else who wants to buy an download issue), can login and view the issue whenever they like on the internet giving all users the ability to go online so multiple apps need not be created just one mega site.

Advantages for focus
Makes me happier and wants me to continue my subscription
More reader’s because more downloaded issues (than being restricted on an ipad) so more money right!
More apps don’t need to be made
Anyway I put it to you focus can you fix it for me?

Hi gurmok, this is a great idea and you can sort of do that now through a website called Zinio - see this link here: http://gb.zinio.com/browse/publications ... =500601540

It lets you download a digital version of the magazine for your computer or iPad. It's not the same as the app, which is more interactive with things like audio, video and animations, but it's an exact digital replica of the magazine, so you can read everything in it. Unfortunately, unlike the app, it's not free to subscribers, it costs £3.25 per issue. We will look into making it free for subscribers too though.

Hope that's of some help, and of course you can read lots of articles from Focus on the website here!

Call me stupid, but surely if you download an iPad emulator, you could read it on there anyway!?!?
