Currently Issuu Mobile is available for Android. We've also developed a cool app for iPhone but, sadly, Apple rejected it. At Issuu we want to provide mobile support for all major mobile platforms. Therefore we have Issuu Mobile for Android and our iPad reader.

How to get Issuu Mobile for Android

Go to m.issuu.com on your mobile browser, or scan this code with your phone to install the free app from Android Market.

How to use Issuu Mobile

Gestures

When reading a publication on Issuu Mobile, there are a few important gestures to learn:

• Double-tap on text or drag your finger across it to enhance for mobile reading (using our EasyRead beta technology).
• Double-tap on images to zoom (currently only works for some images).
• Tap once to bring up the main navigation menu.
• Click the Menu button to bring up more actions.

Article index

One of the most visible improvements is the article index. Whenever you go to the second page of a publication you’ll get an overview of articles. Simply scroll down to find something interesting, or go to the next page to close the article index. The article index can always be opened with the icon in the top-right of the navigation menu.

EasyRead can currently only identify some of the articles, not all, but we’ll improve this as we move along. Whenever you see a big Read Now button you’ll know there’s a full article to read.

Google translation

Many of our beta users have requested more language control. When you are reading a text selection you’ll notice a globe icon in the top-right corner. Select it to translate the text into any language. The menu will remember your last selection for easy access next time.

Social sharing

At the end of any text selection you’ll notice three buttons: Twitter, Facebook and Share. Clicking Share will use Android’s built-in sharing function where you can pass information to any of your installed apps, such as Gmail, Messaging, or Twidroid. The other buttons will open the browser to share on Twitter and Facebook.

The link you are sharing is made short and could look like this: issuu.com/s/Hz. As you can see it takes you to a nice article page that is optimized for both desktop and mobile use. Readers can easily translate that page to their preferred language, and even share it again regardless of which device they’re using.

Book mode

If a publication is mostly text, you’ll now be offered to read it in Book mode. If you select ‘Book’ you will view text only. This is ideal for books, reports and essays that doesn’t have articles or images. You can always tap the screen once to bring up the navigation menu so you won’t get lost.

Offline access

Now you can have all your favorite publications with you on the go, even when you’re not online. All you need to do is open a publication, hit ‘Menu’ and then ‘Download’. Your download will run in the background and can later be found using the new button on the Dashboard.

Improved search options

We’ve now added filtering options to the search page. Once you’ve searched for a title or keyword you can filter your results by a range of languages, and sort the results by latest, rating and view count. This should help you find what you’re looking for a lot quicker.
