Surf Mobile App
Your newspaper.
Your app.
Your brand.
Give your readers a branded iPhone and Android app connected directly to Surf CMS—with local news, breaking-news alerts, your e-edition and community calendar in one mobile experience.
A comfortable reading experience for local news
Your journalism, presented with your newspaper's identity at the center.
One app for your local audience
More than another place to read stories.
Surf Mobile App brings the most important parts of your newspaper into a dedicated mobile experience readers can return to every day.
Local News
Stories published through Surf CMS flow into a clean, mobile-friendly news experience.
Breaking-News Alerts
Send push notifications that bring readers back when important news happens in their community.
Premier E-Edition
Give readers direct access to your digital edition without requiring them to leave your branded app.
Community Calendar
Keep local events close at hand and give readers another reason to open your app throughout the week.
News Sections
Help readers quickly move through local news, sports, business, opinion and other publication sections.
iPhone + Android
Reach readers across both major mobile platforms with a branded app built around your publication.
Your identity comes first
It should feel like your newspaper—not somebody else's platform.
Your publication's masthead, colors and visual identity shape the experience from the moment readers open the app.
Publish Everywhere
Your app doesn't create a second newsroom workflow.
Publish the story once in Surf CMS. Your app becomes another connected destination for the journalism your newsroom is already producing.
Built around local publishing
Give readers more reasons to stay connected.
A branded mobile app gives your newspaper a permanent presence on your readers' phones while helping bring them back when there is something important to read.
Own the reader relationship
Keep your publication's identity—not a social network or aggregator—at the center of the experience.
Bring readers back
Breaking-news push notifications give your newsroom a direct way to reconnect with readers.
Keep publishing simple
Your newsroom continues publishing in Surf CMS rather than maintaining a separate mobile publishing system.
Put more of your newspaper in one place
News, e-editions, community events and alerts can live together inside your publication's mobile experience.
Simple App Pricing
A branded newspaper app without a custom-app price tag.
