Introducing Salon's iPhone app

Download Salon’s iPhone app here

After 17 years online and countless appeals for a mobile app, I’m proud to announce Salon’s iPhone app, our first foray into mobile. For those of you who love to catch up with news while you’re on the go, this is the perfect solution. The app gives you access to all the great content from the site, including coverage of breaking news, politics, entertainment, technology, lifestyle and culture.

It provides easy access to all of Salon’s brilliant writers and their work. Whether it’s the latest from the campaign trail, an investigative post or sharp opinion piece, a slide show of “Famous Last Tweets” or the latest must-see morning clip from “The Daily Show,” Salon is the best place to stay in the conversation and our iPhone app makes it easier than ever before.

Version 1.0 features all the most recent stories from Salon in an easily navigable format with convenient social sharing features, so you can seamlessly share articles via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and email. Plus, Apple’s new Retina Display delivers all of our photos, slide shows, videos and original art in high resolution for a stunning user experience. Check out the slide show below to see it in action.

My main objective since starting at Salon has been to foster collaboration across all our teams – editorial, tech, sales and finance – to build on what Salon does best and lead media innovation. Our iPhone app is the first of many great content-rich products that will emerge from that collaboration.

This is just the beginning of an exciting rollout of new features and ways of connecting with the Salon community – so check back for updates. If you have any suggestions for new features you would like to see, please post them in the comments section below. I look forward to hearing your feedback.

  • 10. "The Guardians" by Sarah Manguso: "Though Sarah Manguso’s 'The Guardians' is specifically about losing a dear friend to suicide, she pries open her intelligent heart to describe our strange, sad modern lives. I think about the small resonating moments of Manguso’s narrative every day." -- M. Rebekah Otto, The Rumpus

  • 9. "Beautiful Ruins" by Jess Walter: "'Beautiful Ruins' leads my list because it's set on the coast of Italy in 1962 and Richard Burton makes an entirely convincing cameo appearance. What more could you want?" -- Maureen Corrigan, NPR's "Fresh Air"

  • 8. "Arcadia" by Lauren Groff: "'Arcadia' captures our painful nostalgia for an idyllic past we never really had." -- Ron Charles, Washington Post

  • 7. "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn: "When a young wife disappears on the morning of her fifth wedding anniversary, her husband becomes the automatic suspect in this compulsively readable thriller, which is as rich with sardonic humor and social satire as it is unexpected plot twists." -- Marjorie Kehe, Christian Science Monitor

  • 6. "How Should a Person Be" by Sheila Heti: "There was a reason this book was so talked about, and it’s because Heti has tapped into something great." -- Jason Diamond, Vol. 1 Brooklyn

  • 4. TIE "NW" by Zadie Smith and "Far From the Tree" by Andrew Solomon: "Zadie Smith’s 'NW' is going to enter the canon for the sheer audacity of the book’s project." -- Roxane Gay, New York Times "'Far From the Tree' by Andrew Solomon is, to my mind, a life-changing book, one that's capable of overturning long-standing ideas of identity, family and love." -- Laura Miller, Salon

  • 3. "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" by Ben Fountain: "'Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk' says a lot about where we are today," says Marjorie Kehe of the Christian Science Monitor. "Pretty much the whole point of that novel," adds Time's Lev Grossman.

  • 2. "Bring Up the Bodies" by Hilary Mantel: "Even more accomplished than the preceding novel in this sequence, 'Wolf Hall,' Mantel's new installment in the fictionalized life of Thomas Cromwell -- master secretary and chief fixer to Henry VIII -- is a high-wire act, a feat of novelistic derring-do." -- Laura Miller, Salon

  • 1. "Behind the Beautiful Forevers" by Katherine Boo: "Like the most remarkable literary nonfiction, it reads with the bite of a novel and opens up a corner of the world that most of us know absolutely nothing about. It stuck with me all year." -- Eric Banks, president of the National Book Critics Circle
