Edudemic Has Gone Mobile

In honor of today’s launch of the iPad 2, I am happy to announce that the new Edudemic site is completely mobile-friendly. While the full site loaded in mobile web browsers, it was slow and not designed for smaller screens. The new mobile-friendly version of Edudemic will automatically detect what type of phone you’re using and adjust accordingly. It works on iOS (iPhone and iPad), Blackberry, Android, Nokia, and a few other systems.

How It Works

Rather than download an app from your system’s app store, all you have to do is go to edudemic.com. You’ll then be shown all the most recent stories from Edudemic authors. NOTE: the default homepage does not show posts from Edudemic partners as those posts send people to potentially non-mobile friendly sites. You can still view the stories in the Edudemic web-app but it’ll send you to the original page.

There’s a snazzy iPad web-app that I encourage you to try out. Again, just head to edudemic.com and you can ‘add to home screen’ to instantly download the iPad-friendly web-app. It’s just that easy!

There’s an iPhone 4-optimized version of Edudemic too! (It works great on older iPhones, iPod Touches, Android devices, and more.) To view the site, just go to edudemic.com. If you’d like a better and faster HTML5-based experience, just add Edudemic to your home screen and then launch that app. To make that a bit of an incentive, there are no advertisements in the web-app versions of the site!

Walk-through

Here’s a quick walk-through of how to add the site to your homescreen and launch the web-app on your iPhone. (Shown on an iPhone 3GS)

The web-version of the site is fast and easy.

When you first get to Edudemic.com, you'll be prompted to add the web-app.

Just click 'Add to Home Screen' and then hit OK

After launching the new web-app, you get a fancy loading screen! (I'll be rotating these to make them fun to check out)

You can view all the categories from all Edudemic partners

Posts are automagically formatted to look great! (My humble opinion)

It's even easy to share posts right from the web-app. Share and enjoy!
