Are You Ready for the New Yumpu Apps?

The latest versions of our apps for iOS and Android are available and better than ever. Having your own, customized app allows you to easily share your publications with your readers while ensuring optimal readability. But developing and maintaining an app is costly and time-consuming. This is where Yumpu comes in, with a cost-efficient, ready-made app that offers many attractive features and is easy to customize and manage.

A mobile app integrates seamlessly into your existing distribution channels, adding a broad new readership by communicating across channels and devices. Furthermore, apps help in improving customer retention and in-app-purchases and subscriptions open up significant new sources of income. Your publications are optimized for all types of mobile devices as they already make up the majority of internet usage. As a result, the load time is reduced to a minimum. So it is definitely worth investing in these readers by offering them the best possible experience.

You determine the design and name of the app and adaptation to your Corporate Design is very easy. Of course, our support team is available to you every step of the way. All this makes the Yumpu app the fastest, easiest and least expensive way to have your own app without any programming effort.

These are the new and improved features:

Fast search, allowing users to search the entire APPKiosk – even within publications – and immediately download the relevant issue. This helps your readers to immediately find what they are looking for, contributing to a positive user experience.

Push notifications to inform readers of new publications and other changes. This increases app usage and customer loyalty.

Individual, highly customizable APPKiosk design: app elements can be colored in via drag & drop to closely match your Corporate Design. A white label solution increases your brand’s recognition value and ensures a consistent brand presence.

Stable servers offer fast load times and high capacity – even with large numbers of publications – ensuring that your readers can browse your store and buy your publications even at high load times.

Fast transfer and rendering of publications make sure that users will experience no delays in downloading their favorite reading material. This leads to a higher user satisfaction.

An offline reading mode offers further flexibility, allowing readers to download selected publications and read them at their leisure whenever they want – even without Internet connection. Perfect for reading on the go!

Real-time updates mean that all changes such as newly uploaded or deleted publications, collections you create or remove, changed settings or a new design are immediately visible in every app. So your app is always up to date.

Reader permissions allow you to define various user groups and set their access accordingly: not logged in users will see publications blurred and need to log in (username and password) to get full access. Permissions let you segment your readers and adapt publications to your readers’ interests. This option is available from the PROKiosk plan upwards.

Bookmarks offer higher interactivity to your readers, so they can quickly pick up where they left off. This function puts your app users at the center.

You can unlock single purchases, assigning a price to individual publications in the relevant store (Google Play Store or App Store). Additionally, you can offer subscriptions with predefined time periods (week, month, year). Users can subscribe in app and the relevant content will automatically be unlocked for the set time period. Use your app traffic effectively and offer in-app-purchases for increasing your sales! These options are available from the PROKiosk. (Available in iOS.)

The app switches easily between landscape mode with double-page display and portrait mode with single page. Your app users can decide which view they prefer.

A text extraction mode enables users to view texts with no formatting or pictures for higher readability.

The App in App feature allows you to link directly from within the app to different APPKiosks you have set up in your Yumpu account, giving readers a direct link to other APPKiosks.

Integrated Terms & Conditions and privacy statement offer legal protection for in-app-purchases.
