Britain’s number one racing publication the Racing Post has entered the realms of the tablet by releasing a new iPad app. The new version of their popular app gives news, features and tips in addition to a huge database, full results service and of course customizable race cards. Alan Byrne, chief executive of Racing Post, revealed: “We have worked hard to incorporate some new features and functionality into the app which we are sure will surprise and delight our customers. We have listened to our readers and many of the new features, including the Organiser, have been built as a direct response to customer feedback. One of the main benefits of the iPad app being available the evening before the paper is published is readers will have time to read the latest news, study the form and review our tipping content in a leisurely fashion.”
