National commuter favourite The Metro has launched an iPad app, offering readers bitesize news, sports and showbiz.

The newspaper already has an iPhone app available, launched earlier this year.

In a release, Metro says it was created “with a newspaper in mind, offering digital news in a paper-like experience”.

“It gives readers the chance to swipe between individual headlines and full stories with a single finger, whilst moving between the different sections, including News, Showbiz, Sport, Weird, Music, Film, TV and Tech, using a dual finger swipe,” they say.

The Metro worked with digital design agency Fjord and mobile agency Bluestar, to create the app.
