The Sun Launches Subscription Android App, iPhone Coming. 13 January '12, 04:42pm Follow Hot on the heels of the recent UK Sun newspaper website paywall debate, any argument about Rupert-Murdoch-owned News International’s plans for mobile have received some clarification this week.
The Sun newspaper has now finally launched its Android app, hitting Android Market for an introductory price of £0.69 a month, rising to its permanent subscription price of £4.99 after the first month. The Sun has the highest circulation of all UK print newspapers, and it launched its first native app for iPad way back in June 2010, which also costs £4.99 a month, offering what is essentially a scanned version of the print newspaper, with no real interactivity to speak of. A dedicated iPhone app is in the pipeline and should be hitting the App Store “soon”, presumably it will adopt the same approach as the Android app which is at least tailored for a mobile app platform.
