The iOS application of newspapers and magazines

Not all on-board applications in iOS have high usage and attention, and some even have almost no sense of presence, so today our goal is to look at what these applications are doing. This time we chose two integrated applications with no presence, newspapers and magazines and Passbook.

Newspapers and magazines first click into the newspapers and magazines. By default, there is nothing here. What does it need to do? Click the middle icon or the "shop" in the lower right corner. We will enter the newspapers and magazines area of ​​the iTunes store.

Most of the magazine journals displayed here are mostly Chinese, but it does not seem like much. No matter what, we click on one of them, and then we will find that this is actually the same as the interface for installing the App in general.

It is worth noting that these applications here have a sign that it is "support for newspapers and magazines." And some applications also reminded that after the installation will not appear on the desktop, but only in the "newspapers and magazines" can be found.

Let's take a few more magazines and see what happens. Now that we have opened the newspapers and magazines, it looks like this. In simple terms, this is a "storage cabinet" for periodicals such as newspapers and magazines. It is similar to a bookshelf, but it will have some new reminder functions, and it will constantly change the current cover of the periodical.

We can also delete these journals easily. To put it plainly, uninstall the application. The method is also to press the “X” in the upper left corner of the icon.

Passbook

The exposure of Passbook is higher than that of newspapers and magazines. After all, this is a function that Apple has focused on. The usage rate in the United States is not low, but it seems that it is not much attention in China. Opening Passbook will remind you what this is and allow you to scan the bar code.

If you have a barcoded membership or discount card, just scan the barcode to save the card information to Passbook, and then the physical card can be set aside. Of course, we do not have many membership cards that support Passbook in China, so there is a low sense of presence.

However, the rise of e-commerce still leaves room for it, that is, services in the form of various applications. We will see “Find Passbook App” on Passbook. Click on it to enter the Passbook area of ​​the App Store.

At present, it seems that there are not many optional applications, and most of them are airline and travel applications. The main ones are the ability to display electronic boarding passes through Passbook, and then there are some coupon applications. Let’s try Tintin Concessions.

After installing the Tintin Offer, open the coupons and find the coupons. Then we can see the "Add Boarding Pass to Passbook" option. Although the way to add each application to Passbook is not the same, as long as there is a "This application supports Passbook" logo can be.

Now we open Passbook and see if the coupon has already been added. We can show this page directly. There is also a setting button in the lower right corner where coupon details can be displayed, as well as automatic updates and display on the lock screen.

The above are the two unpopular applications of newspapers, magazines and Passbook that we are talking about today. In fact, there are not many scenes to use, but the concept is very good, so it is highly recommended if there are users who like to use it. Good use of the upset will also have good results.
