Quick App: GQ Magazine

March 17, 2010 · Print This Article

There is a lot of buzz around magazines coming to the iPad, what about the iPhone? GQ Magazine already has an app for that and it’s rather slick. The app is free and you can buy issues with in-app purchasing for $1.99 a piece. Once the app is installed you have a store to buy your issue. The issues are quite large, so you will want to likely download them by Wi-Fi to easy your viewing pleasure.

Once you downloaded and opened an issue, you are presented with a table of contents. Tap the section you want to read. Depending on the section there are urls to pictures, video and font size. Rotate your device to landscape and you are given a virtual representation of the print issue. You can use the slider on the bottom

to navigate. I really like that feature, you get the best of both worlds; portrait for an optimized iPhone view and rotate for magazine view.

I am impressed with that effort on the iPhone and I am looking forward to an iPad version. Check after the break for more pics!
