The Sunday Times Launches New Android Tablet App

LONDON, August 30, 2011 -

This week The Sunday Times’ award-winning app edition becomes available for the first time on Android tablet devices. The new Android tablet app is the latest addition to The Sunday Times’ digital portfolio, following the hugely successful Sunday Times iPad app, which has been voted Newspaper App of the Year* and the World’s No.1 Newspaper and Magazine app**.

The new Android tablet app includes all 12 sections of Britain’s biggest and best-selling quality newspaper, with exclusive video and stunning photography, interactive graphics, high definition slideshows plus live and updated news and sport results.

Tristan Davies, Executive Editor of The Sunday Times says, ‘We are delighted to launch our full app edition in the Android Marketplace. The Sunday Times Android tablet edition has all the qualities of design and interactivity that have made our iPad edition the world’s leading newspaper and magazine app. Now owners of Galaxies, Xooms and other Android Honeycomb devices can enjoy a fully immersive, page-turning reading experience designed specifically for touch-screen tablets.‘

The Android tablet app is available via The Times and Sunday Times newspaper and digital subscription packages. The digital subscription is only £1 for the first 30 days, then £2 per week thereafter. You can download a sample edition of the Android tablet app free via the Android Marketplace.
