November 09, 2015 Television
Al Jazeera has launched new mobile and tablet apps on the iOS and Android systems bringing the latest Al Jazeera news and programmes live together with on-demand personalisation.
The apps which are available for Al Jazeera English and Al Jazeera Arabic will provide breaking news alerts and special coverage notifications with a curated home screen which highlights top stories, as well as providing 24-hour access to live video and background audio streaming with a personal newsfeed area for shows, topics and saved stories which can be shared on social media.
Ibrahim Hamid, Director of Enterprise and Digital Platforms at Al Jazeera Media Network said: "Our new mobile and tablet apps will make it easier for our audiences to get content that is important and relevant for them. With just one click, you can get quick access to your favourite topics, shows, and any saved articles from your personalised news feed.
"We have built a totally new experience from the ground up in these feature-rich apps. From the revamped and curated home screen, with the new video experience on the enhanced story pages, we are now bringing a new and compelling experience to our audiences and are committed to regular updates with new features. These apps complement our growing portfolio of digital products such as our Al Jazeera English Apple TV app that we launched last week and you will see a growing convergence in experiences in the future releases of our products."
