Now Smartphone and Tablet compatible, with Landscape/Portrait view options and more! SOS App v13.1 - now HTML5-based and fully responsive. Works on Smartphones and Tablets.
SOS announces a major update to our Apple and Android Tablet Apps which launched on 21st January 2021. Now fully responsive and Smartphone compatible!
SOS v13.1 App on Smartphone.This totally redesigned v13.1 app is based on HTML5 to provide maximum compatibility across tablet and smartphone devices and it introduces many requested new features.
New Look
We've redesigned the app to have a clean look with fast-loading, highly-responsive pages that adapt to different size devices and orientations.
Landscape View
This uses the hamburger menu to select different articles. And, when reading an article, you'll see a red sidebar listing the different sections for in-article navigation.
Portrait View
Tap the hamburger menu, top right, when in an issue to see a full list of contents in the issue.
Tablet and Smartphone compatible
Get the best from your devices whether at home, in the studio or on the move.
Tablet users can access both the new design, plus legacy issues back to January 2012 when we first introduced our iPad App.
On Smartphone, you can view our new design from the November 2020 issue (unlocked FREE download to try it out) and all future issues.
SOS v13.1 App works on both Tablet and Smartphone.
Pinch-Zoom on Images & Adverts
Back by popular demand! All images and adverts can be zoomed on any device for enhanced detail (November 2020 issue onwards). Tapping adverts takes you directly to the advertisers website.
Improved Audio Players
A full-function audio player with volume control and a jump 15 seconds forward/backward feature. Playlist mode enables the player to automatically cycle through multiple tracks while you read the article.
Download individual articles or full issues
The new app enables you to download articles on-demand as you browse an issue or, for offline reading, you can download the full issue by tapping the cloud icon. Issues can be removed at any time and downloaded again later, if required.
Use On 5 Devices
If you are an SOS Digital Subscriber direct with our website you can use the app on any combination of iPad, iPhone, Android Tablet and Smartphones. (Not available on App Store or In app purchased subscriptions.)
