The Wānaka App has just released an update that improves the reader experience on iPad and tablet devices.

The update means the Wānaka App is now responsive to the screen size, orientation, and display modes for iPads and tablets.

“It is exciting to be able to bring a much-anticipated update for readers on larger devices,” Wānaka App co-owner Tony O’Regan said.

“Approximately 10% of our 25,000 monthly readers use those devices, so it is nice to deliver them a better experience.”

Tony said that readers on iPads and tablets will notice ‘a lot of improvement’.

“The whole screen layout is designed for the device, which makes it easier to navigate and view,” he said.

“Images will now be responsive to the device, and pages will respond to screen size with two and three-column layouts depending on the page.”

Readers will know if they have the latest update as it includes a new Home button in the navigation menu.

If readers do not see the Home button then they will need to go to the app store, search for the Wānaka App, and click Update.

The Wānaka App launched in 2016 and has been consistently improved, including a completely new mobile app design, the addition of a web app (website) for desktop, and now full optimisation for iPad and tablet devices.

More than 183,000 unique readers have engaged with the Wānaka App in the past 12 months recording 7.5M page views.
