CR Annual: the iPhone App
Posted by Creative Review, 22 April 2010, 10:44 Permalink Comments (13)
Creative Review's 2010 Annual is available as an iPhone App, which includes all the selected work from our showcase of the best in visual communication over the past 12 months
For the first time at Creative Review we are making our Annual available as an iPhone App (you can get it here). All the work selected for this year’s Annual is included on the App, along with extra images and full credits. Users can click through to watch video content and link to websites, share their favourites and tweet about the work. Here's a video to show you how it works:
As with the printed version, the App lists all the content according to the month in which it was first published, aired or launched along with the Best in Book section. But, for added functionality, you can also search by entrant.
Moving image work can be viewed via YouTube links to each piece of film while digital projects link to the websites concerned.
There is also a wealth of extra hi-res imagery on the App, much of which is not included in the print version. Just zoom in for extra detail.
The App was designed and built for us by Russell Quinn, who also created the highly-regarded App for McSweeney’s and Wallpaper*'s city guides. It is available from the iTunes App Store, priced £2.99.

Just bought it. Great job. We're just disappointed not to be in it.

Any plans for an iPad-optimized version?

Does it scale up for an iPad or just sit in the middle of the screen?

That's pretty cool and £2.99 sounds like a bargain to me.

We're very pleased that people seem to be enjoying the app - we are currently second behind The Guardian in our category (News) on the UK App Store.
Re the iPad, we had long discussions about it but the continued uncertainty over its distribution outside the US led us to decide to do this one as an iPhone App only. We are talking about iPad options though and hope to have something out later this year.

First instant reaction: GREAT Brilliant idea must download, must download.....Then on closer inspection .....I see that I, as a subscriber have to pay to download the app.... COME ON CR you are only showcasing work which were privileged enough to win an award after paying for an entry fee!! ... This app should be FREE

Good idea but should be free to users. Maybe sell ad strips to raise revenue instead?

Should definitely be free for subscribers!

The Annual will be available online for subscribers shortly, complete with video embeds for winning moving image.
