AOL has announced the launch of Editions, a free daily magazine for iPad that delivers a reading experience customized for each individual user. Developed by AOL’s mobile-first team, Editions is the only daily iPad magazine that is tailored to the unique interests of each of its users in an easy to read format, says the company.
Available on the App Store, Editions also surfaces top news by section to ensure readers are getting information that is not only interesting to them, but also important.
