In just eight weeks since its initial release, Slide Reader has been extremely well received. It was in the top-10 most popular news applications category and featured by Apple in the iTunes store “New and Noteworthy” and “Staff Favorites” sections.
“It’s been wonderful to get such positive response to the app,” said Dinesh Lalvani, Managing Partner of Flip Media. “Our goal was to make Slide Reader extremely user friendly. The constant feedback from customers has been key to the development process. Google Reader Sync was the most common requests, so we worked around the clock to deliver this update.”
Lalvani, who heads the agency based in Dubai, said fighting piracy has been a challenge, with over 15,000 pirated versions in use. “It's good to see Slide Reader is in demand, but we obviously want people to purchase it to support the development of the app. We’re very focused on making the experience as optimal as possible for our customer which means we are constantly developing improvements."
Following the success of the iPad App, Flip Media has also released an Android version of the app in the Android Market, which is free to users.
Developed by Flip’s international team of user experience specialists, graphic designers, content strategists and programmers, every pixel of Slide Reader was designed with comfort and usability in mind. “We focused on creating an interface that makes sense for any user, even beginners,” said Imthiaz Rafique, Technical Development Lead.
Not only is Slide Reader user friendly, but it has many unique features:
- Google Reader Sync: a real time seamless integration between your Google Reader account and Slide Reader.
- Profiles: Since many homes have multiple users on one device, Slide Reader’s profile functionality enables each to maintain their own feeds and themes in one application.
- Feed Catalog: Slide Reader’s constantly updated catalog of feeds helps users discover some of the web’s best content by category, topic and language.
- Theme store: Users can personalize their reading experience by selecting acustomized look for the application.
The latest iPad version of Slide Reader is available for $4.99 in the Apple iTunes store and the Android version is free in the Android Market. For more details and to see a demo of Slide Reader go to: www.slidereader.me
