Introducing a New Way to Read Bloomer Magazine

Improving your reading experience with a PWA

Bloomer Magazine is now available through a PWA (Progressive Web App). We know…what the heck is a Progressive Web App?

A progressive web app (PWA) provides an app-like experience through your mobile phone’s browser with the same convenience and flexibility of a native application that you would download from Apple App Store or Google Play.

So, you ask, why is this important for me and reading Bloomer Magazine? Thanks for asking because Anna has been so excited to tell you the reasons:

1. There is no need to worry about using additional data space on your phone to download the app

2. It has the same functionality as a fully native app experience without all the headaches of downloading from the Apple App Store or Google Play

3. You have the ability to save the Bloomer PWA to your home screen as a shortcut for instant access whenever you want

4. It’s in a secured environment with the programming in HTTPS

5. You have offline access once the Bloomer PWA is saved to your home screen

6. You can read content on your phone or your desktop computer through a web browser

So, there you have it.

Go ahead and delete that old Bloomer App and head to our new way of reading Bloomer Magazine.

Let us know what you think!
