The Early Edition 2 artwork The Early Edition 2
Glasshouse Apps
Genre: News
Price: $4.99
Release Date: October 20, 2011

✭ Video demo at earlyedition2.com ✭

In 2010 The Early Edition redefined the daily newspaper when it launched alongside the original iPad. Now it's been completely redesigned and engineered exclusively for iOS 5.

✭ WHAT IS IT?
The Early Edition 2 is a beautiful, up-to-the-minute newspaper that puts you in the editorial seat. RSS feeds are the basis for content and now it can be used either as a standalone app or in sync with a Google Reader account.

✭ DYNAMIC PAGE LAYOUT
Now sporting a gorgeous column-based page layout, The Early Edition 2 uses an algorithm to intelligently position stories based on their content. This means every page is now both beautiful and dynamic.

✭ TURNING PAGES
Page turns can now follow your finger which looks stunning. Or you can simply swipe horizontally or tap the edge of the page.

✭ LESS CLUTTER, MORE CONTENT
Our intuitive multitouch interface strips back visual clutter so you can focus on the news. The main newspaper view is now completely free of buttons in both orientations which means you can simply enjoy browsing and reading your paper.

✭ GO OFFLINE
All images are now cached on the device so if you go out of network coverage, you still get the full reading experience. Also, you can choose to either load images in real-time while you navigate the paper or set it to preload all images. Preloading images is especially useful for Wifi iPads or use when a 3G network is unavailable such as flights.

✭ IMAGES, IN ALL THEIR GLORY
Double-tapping any image in the main paper view takes you to a swipeable gallery mode, perfect for photography, design or comic feeds. Swipe horizontally to view all the images in a single story or vertically to view images from the next or previous story.

✭ SEARCH
The entire paper is now searchable. And if there are particular search terms you use frequently, you can save them for one-tap searching anytime in the future.

✭ CLIPPINGS
Sometimes there just isn't time to keep up with the flow of news pouring in. Now you can star stories as you browse, and they get sent straight to your Clippings shoebox for later reading.

✭ FEATURED FEEDS
This is our curated list of suggestions for topics and news sources. From here you can preview and subscribe to interesting feeds that you may not have discovered yet.

✭ GESTURES
We've implemented a lot of gestures to make navigating The Early Edition 2 both quick and amazingly fun to use.

---

✭ CUSTOMERS OF VERSION 1
The Early Edition 2 is a brand new iOS 5-only app, entirely rebuilt over the course of 12 months, and hence is a paid update.
