Mobile app with audio news for the European Radio Network Euranet

Overview

The Euranet website was implemented based on the CMS by Ibexa. To make its content accessible for mobile users, Euranet commissioned silver.solutions with the development of an iPhone app. The app will obtain the up-to-date content directly from the CMS.

The solution in detail

The app presents the latest 5 dossiers with their individual contributions as “Specials”. The contributions are produced in the local language by the participating radio stations in the different countries. As a rule, the dossiers are updated once a week.

In addition to the dossiers, the latest news will be made available in the form of audio contributions under the column “Audios”.

If there is a WLAN connection, the audios can be played back directly by the app. While the audio is played back, users can continue browsing the app.

The app is based on the Titanium Framework of Appcelerator and is available for the iPhone. The interface specifically developed by silver.solutions ensures data exchange between the CMS and the app. 

The result

With the app, Euranet users now have mobile access to the latest audio contributions and news. The content was optimised specifically for display on smartphones and uses the learnt swypes to browse. This way, users always have access to the most important content on their iPhone.
