THE Church Times has updated its app for iPhone and iPad, to keep readers up to date with the latest news throughout the week.

The new edition of the iOS app was launched on Tuesday with a fresh look. Subscribers can now read breaking news stories and articles, and listen to the Church Times Podcast without leaving the app. In two clicks from the homepage, readers can also return to their last-read article.

App users will continue to be able to download each week’s issue — and all past issues — which can be read cover-to-cover offline, as well as search for specific news stories, features, jobs, and appointments, and easily share articles via email, on Twitter and Facebook.

The Church Times has also recently arrived on Instagram. You can follow the paper at www.instagram.com/thechurchtimes and @thechurchtimes to see more content, pictures, and videos.

The Church Times app is free for existing print- and online-subscribers. App-only subscriptions are also available, starting at £6.99 for one month’s access. The app requires iOS 9.0 or later.
