i Sudha App app for iPhone and iPad

Sudha(ಸುಧಾ:kn_IN) is a weekly (www.sudhaezine.com) that gets published on every thursdays. The online version is available for free. However, the experience with mobile hasn’t been encouraging and that prompted me to come up with a framework for getting magazines onto mobile.

This is a fist ever attempt to provide accessibility to a Kannada magazine from a mobile application.

i-Sudha, based on a mobile framework designed for magazines, provides an enjoyable reading experience on a iPhone/iPod Touch. Some of the unique features of this mobile application are:

1. Provides a Easier way to browser through Sudha Magazine archives, from current week to previous 3 years.

2. Easy Navigation between pages. Now, navigate across pages using Scrubbing feature of iOS. Right to left scrubbing would take you to next page and left to right scrubbing loads previous page.

3. Enjoyable Reading experience with Zoom-In and Zoom-Out features. Use 2 fingers to zoom-in and zoom-out. Double tap to restore to original scale.

4. Stores the Sudha Pages locally so that you could read Sudha as many times without needing internet, subsequently.
