The academic news media Ronbun News launched its official app on the App Store on September 8. The app offers push notifications, offline reading, and category filters, with large text and a simple interface for reading during commutes. An Android version will follow. A free YouTube live stream marking the launch runs the same day at 20:00.
Ronbun News has published 145 articles as of the launch date, with new pieces appearing every weekday. The app grew out of reader requests for easier reading on the move and a way to avoid losing track of articles they wanted to return to. It is run by Yasashii Business Lab, based in Ageo, Saitama, under CEO Koichi Nakagawa.
The launch-day live stream, hosted by Nakagawa in his role as general supervisor, will discuss recent and popular papers, explain how to use the app, and introduce the website. The Android version is scheduled to follow the iOS release.
