Guardian iPad app on the way, and new iPhone subscription charge

The Guardian has revealed that it’s about to update its iPhone app, and also release an app for the iPad.

The new improved iPhone app will boast a landscape reading view, fresh video content (award-winning video, no less), live football scores and the ability to view reader comments. There’s one final change, and that’s the pricing, with a new subscription model being introduced.

The Guardian iPhone app will cost £2.99 for six months, and £3.99 for twelve months, so for a full year it’s 33p per month which isn’t likely to break the bank. In the States, there’ll be a free ad-supported version.

The iPad app is currently under development, with more details to be revealed shortly. All the Guardian is saying at the moment is: “We’re still working through the final features but, as always, we’re aiming high and hoping to steal a march on the current news-oriented iPad apps already available.”
