We’re happy to announce that Pitchfork Weekly, our new app, is now available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Download it for free from the App Store.
The Android version for tablets and smartphones will be available in early 2014.
Pitchfork Weekly highlights the best of Pitchfork’s editorial content (including reviews, features, columns, and audio) in addition to exclusive videos and original programming from Pitchfork.TV. Exclusive to the app, Pitchfork Weekly will also feature staff-produced podcasts ranging from talk about the week in music to mixes of notable tracks.
Pitchfork Weekly offers an opportunity for readers to have a totally immersive experience with Pitchfork's original content in an offline environment. It serves as a "weekly magazine" version of the site, drawing inspiration from the design of a print publication with enhanced photos, graphics, and long-form features and cover stories. With the pace of the web, it can sometimes be difficult to slow down and engage with great writing, and the sheer amount of words that we publish each week can be overwhelming. Pitchfork Weekly allows for a more focused reading experience, while at the same time taking advantage of the multimedia possibilities tablet and mobile apps provide.
The app was built in collaboration with and designed by Stinkdigital, an award-winning production agency consisting of over 60 full-time interactive creatives, developers, animators, designers, digital producers, film producers and directors who work together as a team to create innovative and engaging interactive experiences.
The launch of Pitchfork Weekly was made possible with the support of Lexus.
