Trusted news in the palm of your hand with new app

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread and Kent is placed on lockdown, this newspaper is committed to bringing you the latest facts and Government advice.

We understand that not all of our readers can, or will want to, venture out to pick up their weekly newspaper. So we’re letting all of our readers download our app for free, so they can follow local developments on either their phone, tablet, or desktop computer.

The IM News app contains the latest breaking news from our journalists, as well as a digital version of the newspaper itself. As part of our service to our readers we are making the IM News app available for free.

Once installed and opened you will be greeted by a map of England with location markers for every county where Iliffe Media, the independent publisher of this newspaper, operates. If you tap your county you will have the option to read any newspaper published by Iliffe Media in that county. You can then select your local newspaper of choice and tap ‘Take me to the news’.

On mobile you will now be taken to the latest breaking news, leisure and sport content from our newsroom. If you tap the ‘paper’ tab you can also choose to read editions of your local newspaper. Pages are swipeable and can be made larger by pinching and pulling the screen. You can also download the newspaper so you can read it offline at your leisure, and a full archive is available at a touch.

If you’ve downloaded the app on tablet you will see a daily newsletter of stories carefully crafted by our teams under the editions tab as well as a swipeable version of your favourite local newspaper under the replica tab.

You can download the app at subsaver.co.uk/imn and enter the code TRUST.

If you do not have a tablet or smartphone, you can also read our papers free on your computer by visiting www.kentonline.co.uk/news/digital-newspapers/
