About the Rappahannock Record iPhone App
The Rappahannock Record app, produced by Rappahannock Record Inc., is a free iOS application that places the local newspaper on your iPhone. It’s listed in the App Store under Education & Reference, with a Books-related subcategory.
Core capabilities
- Displays each edition in the same layout as the printed paper so stories, photos and ads retain their original appearance.
- Lets you quickly view articles, images and advertisements from the latest edition.
- Supports familiar touch interactions so you can pinch to zoom and swipe between pages.
- Makes catching up on community news convenient when you’re away from print distribution.
Navigation and controls
The app takes advantage of iOS multi-touch input to make movement through pages fluid and responsive. Basic gestures—taps, pinches and swipes—handle zooming, page turns and article focus without a steep learning curve.
Reading experience
Because pages are shown in their print layout, the app offers a newspaper-like reading feel. That keeps formatting, column flow and image placement consistent with the physical copy, which many readers find more comfortable than reflowed article views.
