UK developer PageSuite has delivered its first CMS-fed Live App to magazine publisher Archant.

The app for aviation title Pilot Magazine is created by channelling existing XML and JSON feeds into a framework of customisable templates to deliver an interactive and immersive, edition-based magazine.

It delivers readers news, flight tests, travel articles, technique and other features directly from the content management system feed.

PageSuite have released more than 60 PDF-replica apps for Archant across iOS and Android – ranging from regional newspapers to specialist magazine titles – but the Live App is a different reading experience. It combines articles, full screen imagery and photo galleries, and is completely optimised for iPad.

Readers access the content that interests them with customisable category sections, social sharing, alternate article reading options, full search functionality plus the ability to add additional news sources from around the world. A free trial issue is at Apple’s AppStore.
