Reuters introduces new apps for iPhones, iPads

Reuters has launched new applications for the iPhone and iPad.

Dianna Dilworth at AppNewser.com writes, “The free app distributes the latest reporting and market data from the media network.

“The app delivers content contextually. For example, news articles are part of a news stream that is surrounded by the latest related content on the subject such as photos, videos, background articles and even social media alerts on the subject. The app also includes financial data on companies and lets users create graphs of the company’s performance over specified periods of time. Users can also create a watchlist of topic streams, and save stories to read later. The app is optimized for both the iPhone and the iPad depending on which device you are using it on.

“Reuters has plans to roll out new features and content over the next few weeks. In addition, the company is also redesigning its website. The redesign will go live this spring.”
