The ‘Philippine Star’ has added digital and HTML5 editions, as well as a dynamic app, one of five developed for Star Group.

The products extend the reach of the newspaper and magazine group – claimed to be the largest in the Philippines – to PC and Mac computers, smartphones and tablet devices.

The PageSuite-developed app uses the increasingly-popular Dynamic App framework, and contains all the popular sections of the paper, including business, lifestyle, entertainment and sport.

As well as search, share and download functions, users can access all editions of the publication by incorporating subscriptions allowing the purchase of seven-day, one month, three month and six month subscriptions.

The app has Newsstand compatibility and is currently the number one free app in Newsstand in the Philippines iTunes store. More than 25000 copies have been downloaded in two weeks. It is also number two in the free app download chart and number five top grossing app in the iTunes store.
