CBC updates mobile applications
By Adnews Staff
CBC/Radio-Canada has released updated versions of its mobile applications for CBC News and CBC Radio, optimized for Apple devices running the new iOS 8 operating system. Developed in-house, the applications feature new user interfaces that are intended to be more customizable and more visual. The programs also offer a geo-location feature that will provide content relevant to a user's region. Users can also select which categories of content the applications with prioritize.
"As CBC moves forward with our mobile first strategy, and as Canadians are increasingly consuming their content on mobile devices, we want to lead the market with our new apps," said Jennifer McGuire, general manager and editor-in-chief of CBC News and Centres. "The new apps are focused on getting local news and information into the hands of Canadians, and ensuring a better user experience that reflects their interests, tastes and lifestyles."
