  • Branded App Option

The iPad is moving the home's 'personal' computer from the upstairs spare bedroom downstairs to the heart of the household, and it's a natural platform for browsing, reading and social product choice.

inbro's iPad apps give you a branded presence on your customer's iPads - they have access to all documents you publish with inbro, as well as a news feed, integration of your Youtube video channel (or Youtube search results), and a direct connection to your website.

Fast Growing Platform

As of June 2011, Apple have sold 25 million iPads worldwide, in 14 months from a standing start. (Source Apple WWDC Keynote, 6 June 2011)

Personal Subscriptions

When you publish an update, your current readers are automatically offered the new edition. The more readers you have the harder inbro is working for you.

inbro iPad App

All the consumer-facing documents you publish with inbro will be made available in inbro’s iPad app. Links back to your website are included. The app is free for consumers to download and use. (You can opt-out of this if you prefer).

Branded App Option

Want your own iPad app in the App Store, and on your customers’ iPads? inbro can build and submit an app for you, with your own branding, that includes all the documents you publish with inbro, plus a news feed, optional integration of your Youtube channel or search results, and direct view onto your website. The app is your branded presence on your reader’s iPad, and a portal into your content, product and services.

A video feed from Youtube can also be integrated directly into your app. This feed is produced from the publisher's Youtube channel.

This publisher doesn't have a Youtube channel so the feed is made from a search on their name. The screenshot also shows the Video view in landscape orientation.

Website

And the 'Website' button also gives your reader a direct entry point to your website, without leaving the app. The button can be connected to any URL of your choice.

How long does App setup take?

Once your inbro account is created and your first inbro is live, we can usually have your App built and submitted to Apple within 48 hours. Apple will then review the App before adding it to the App Store, this usually takes them about 4 or 5 days. So your App can usually be live within 5 or 6 days of you giving the go-ahead.

What do I need to supply for the iPad app?

As well as your documents, it’s helpful if you can supply us with the following for your iPad App:

  • your icon, 512×512 pixels square, for the App Store listing and the App’s logo
  • a portrait oriented graphic for the splash screen, dimensions 768×1004 pixels
  • a landscape oriented graphic for the splash screen, dimensions 1024×748 pixels

The best format for the graphics is PNG, though GIF, JPG or TIFF are OK too.

If you don’t have these, don’t worry, contact us and we’ll do our best to help. The splash screens are what your reader will see when the start up the App.

Do my readers need to download a new copy of the App when I publish new documents with inbro?

No, your new inbros will automatically be offered to your readers in the copy of the App they have. In effect the app is self-updating. The same is true for your news feed and video feed that are published in the App.
