France 24 is launching a new version of its iOS app, compatible with all Apple mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, iPad Air and iPod Touch) available now for free.
The new trilingual application (French, English, Arabic) features streamlined design and very fast video loading for greater user comfort.
Optimised for Retina Display, this version has been completely redesigned for navigation on tablets and all video content (streaming or on demand) is now compatible with the Apple TV Air Play service.
In addition to free access to articles, reports and all France 24 programmes, mobile users can now personalise their navigation thanks to a new Favourites page that lets them create a catalogue of content and build up lists of articles using keywords. They can also use the Tweets tab to follow the activity of France 24 news team journalists in real-time on Twitter.
Users can share news items of their choice on the social networks. To follow breaking international news as it happens, users can also sign up for news alerts in the language of their choice.
A pioneer in mobile broadcasts, France 24 has been available on iPhone since February 2009. The international channel was the first in the world to broadcast its programmes live on these devices and launched an iPad application on the day the new tablets came onto the market.
