Download the Develop iPhone app!

Own an iPhone? You can now download an app (iTunes link) that puts MCV sister-site Develop’s must-read game development news into the palm of your hand.

The app is sponsored by Blitz Games Studios and is completely free to download.

Like MCV’s own iPhone app, it includes a fully-searchable news archive, the ability to save favourite articles for offline reading, Facebook and Twitter sharing functionality, side-swipe gesture to change articles, and YouTube video integration.

It’s all part of publisher Intent Media’s goal to make Develop available across as many channels as possible, delivering maximum convenience to readers and extra value to advertisers.

Develop Online for iPhone arrives as the Develop brand goes from strength to strength online and in print.

According to Google Analytics, online readership for www.develop-online.net hit 126,393 unique users in October. This is a second consecutive month of record traffic.

Magazine readership continues to hit new heights too, now comfortably over 10,000 a month across print and digital edition.

Develop Magazine has benefited from a range of initiatives, such as recent free subscription offers and the increasing popularity of a digital edition available either as a browser-based read or PDF.

Blitz Games Studio CEO Philip Oliver said: We’re excited to be sponsoring Develop’s new iPhone app and see it as a great way to communicate with an even greater cross-section of our audience.”
