Written Android App Review
New York City. This bustling metropolis of art, culture and life has been the main focus of The New Yorker magazine (and every would-be actor, musician and model in the world) since 1925. Now you can find the best art, events, music and food the city can serve up, all meticulously selected by the choosey wordsmiths at The New Yorker with the new Goings On: The New Yorker Android app.
It’s an app that every Upper East Side socialite should have in their silk lined Birkin bag, or $1,000 suit pocket. Or, if you’re like me, and just happen to love the city that never sleeps and want to enjoy the best it has to offer.
Get ready to experience New York in a whole new way with the Goings On: The New Yorker Android app.
Features
Goings On: The New Yorker
Ready to dig in to the Goings On: The New Yorker Android app? I thought you might be. Ideally, this Android app will help you find new and interesting NYC experiences. Whether you pluck them out of the critics’ picks, general listings or from the GPS-integrated “By Location” section of the app is up to you.
Items are organized by topic. Choose from the theater, night life, art, movies, dance, classical music, Tables for Two, readings and talks, and above and beyond. Results may be further sifted by location or date, if you are concerned about that sort of thing.
Once you find an event or place you simply must try, save it to your favorites for easy access. You can also peruse and save upcoming items if you desire.
Naturally, there is much more to the Goings On: The New Yorker Android app than simple listings. Local insights are tucked snugly into the critics’ picks section. There are audio tours from New Yorker writers and links to magazine content scattered throughout.
Practicality
Many self-respecting New Yorkers can attest that The New Yorker is an invaluable local asset. Moving the publication’s award winning content to a mobile platform just makes sense.
I foresee Goings On: The New Yorker being quite a hit among locals. There is always something new to discover in NYC. But I believe the app’s true value will be for visitors. Never visit NYC and settle for a mediocre trip. Use this app to help you see the best.
Layout & Design
Goings On: The New Yorker
The Goings On: The New Yorker app incorporates several quintessential design features from the adored magazine, including the signature skyline in black and white and some decidedly New Yorker illustrations.
The layout is decided polished to a sophisticated shine. 3D scrolling wheels will help you navigate between choices when the elegant tabbed design does not. I think I have a crush on the app’s design work. It might be serious.
Value
In a decidedly egalitarian move, Goings On: The New Yorker is available for download from the Android Market for free. I believe this app is extremely valuable and suggest anyone setting foot in NYC take a moment to download it.
