Digital publication app

Digital Publication Apps are software applications used to deliver branded business communications and content.^{[citation needed]} Typically designed for tablet platforms, Digital Publication Apps tend to incorporate elements of rich media (such as high quality video, photos, three-dimensional models, audio)^[1] and, when built for Apple’s iPad platform, support the various user navigation capabilities of the iPad such as touch, swipe, and gesture support.^[2] Certain Digital Publication Apps also make use of the iPad’s accelerometer and gyroscope to affect navigation through physical user movement.^[3]

Digital Publication Apps vary in their specific purpose and execution and are typically designed to present a look and style consistent with the identity of a particular brand. Design and construction activities for Digital Publication Apps are typically carried out by firms that specialize in this area or, less commonly, completed in-house.
