In an effort to find different articles to read and to keep better informed about a variety of topics, I found the Longform App for iPad. The Longform app is a long article app from the website, Longform.org. The Longform app adds this depth and much more to my daily reading list. In the past, much of what I have read on the internet has been short articles and brief news stories, but as I get accustomed to reading on my iPad, I became more interested in adding more depth in my reading. The Longform app has filled that gap.
The Longform app offers a feed of longer and more in-depth articles throughout the day from a variety of sources. Some of the articles offered are from major news magazines and some of these articles maybe bound by a subscription fee. What I have found on the feed are many articles that have giving me a much better understanding of a current news story, as well as helping me understand a somewhat obscure story. Because the reader is able to pick the types of stories to read, the chance of getting the most tailored stories is very helpful.
A quick look at the main site, Longform.org will give you a good look at the types of stories that the site offers and includes in the app. From there, you can select the different topics that would like to have included in your iPad app. I have enjoyed reading the stories provided on the app and wholeheartedly recommend the Longform app as my pick of the week.
