The weekly news magazine, founded in 1933, enjoys a global circulation in excess of 1.5 million and readers will now be able to browse through nearly 70 back issues of the magazine on their smartphone, iPad or personal computer.

As an Adobe Digital Publishing Suite (DPS) partner, Aysling provided proprietary KickStart Adobe DPS training for the Newsweek staff. Utilizing Adobe Digital Publishing Software (Adobe DPS & Adobe Creative Cloud), Newsweek created their new app and their newest issues are enhanced by video, audio, animation and other interactive elements to fully complete the user's tablet experience.

"Aysling's expertise with Adobe DPS was key to building interactive apps that enhance the reader experience," said Oliver Tree, Director of Business Development. "And the Aysling team's flexibility with our aggressive deadline allowed us to provide our readers with the historical content we know they'd be looking for when we launched the apps."

Aysling teamed with Newsweek staff to build three tablet apps for the Apple, Kindle and Google Play platforms for 66 back issues of the magazine in less than a month's time.

"Everyone at Aysling was thrilled to work with such a well-known and respected brand," said Sheila Magie, Aysling's Vice President of Design. "Our team showed a lot of flexibility and expertise with Adobe DPS in bringing this project together for Newsweek."
