The London Evening Standard is a popular daily newspaper, published in tabloid format in London, England. It celebrates London and what living in London is all about. Sponsored by British Airways London City, and developed in partnership with Handmark, a London Evening Standard iPhone application is now immediately available to download free on Apple’s iPhone, as well as other smartphones, the paper has announced today.

The London Evening Standard is described as one of the most widely read newspapers in London and the southeast of England. As iPhone users would expect, the new London Evening Standard mobile news application provides readers with instant, real-time access to all the latest London Evening Standard news and information.

Browsing the app is easy, thanks to the variety of news categories, including Business, Sport, Showbiz and Life and Style. These have corresponding imagery, while the articles themselves can be saved for offline reading. Users can also share them via email and various social networks without ever leaving the app.

“We are excited to introduce our new mobile application so our readers can now enjoy the convenience of having instant access to our trusted news and information on the go,” Tim Smith, London Evening Standard general manager Digital, said. “The mobile application provides an extremely intuitive, personalized experience and supports a great sharing experience.”
