RJ apps available to access content

The Las Vegas Review-Journal today introduces iPad, iPhone and Android smartphone applications for subscribers to access content on the go.

Current subscribers will continue to receive the print newspaper at home while also immediately being able to download the apps at no extra charge. To activate the apps, subscribers may visit myrjnewsstand.reviewjournal.com/.

For nonsubscribers, print home delivery and app access can be bundled starting at $12.67 a month. An online-only package with apps and an e-edition of the newspaper is $12.99 a month. A digital-only package is $9.99 a month.

"Our new mobile and tablet applications will take our market-leading news assets to the next level," said Review-Journal Publisher Bob Brown. "Susbscribers will get breaking news first. We have always had the No. 1 local news website. Now, we will have the Valley's dominant mobile and tablets news application."

The smartphone and tablet apps, which are today available through the Apple Store and Google Play, offer unlimited access to the newspaper's articles and photos, as well as multimedia and Web features such as blogs, videos and slideshows. The apps are free to download and readers can browse the site and read headlines. To view full stories and other content, you must subscribe.

Assistant Managing Editor Greg Haas said one advantage of downloading the Review-Journal's iPad app is the ability to download news and read on the road - ideal for travelers and business leaders.

Another feature, Haas said, is the "depth of our coverage. You can get news from other sources in Las Vegas, but you can't get the complete news that we offer."

Haas said more features are in development, as is an Android tablet app.

"We have optimized the way we display basic information, and we think readers will find that reading the news on their mobile devices is really a different experience," he said.
