Alex Watson, the Head of App Development at Dennis Publishing talks about the design of The Week magazine's iPad app, nominated for several awards in the annual AOP awards.

The Week is a weekly news magazine, published since 1995. It is one of the UK's most successful magazines with around 170,000 subscribers which makes this a classic challenge of taking an existing product and having to work out how to transfer it to a new platform.

Watch the video to see how Dennis turned The Week into a successful iPad app with over 250,000 downloads globally, 65% 5-star reviews and placing in the Top 5 iTunes News app in 38 countries. You can also read more in “The Week” iPad App – Lessons Learned From A Product Manager.
