After being around on iPad quite some time, Wayang Force announces the availability of its product for iPhone. Not only magazines, we can also download newspapers and books. The library is not massive, but sufficient, mostly on popular magazines. Even better, Wayang Force support the Ministry of Education program by providing free e-books about school lectures. Previously, its competitor SCOOP also provides updates on iPhone version, overhauling the look-and-feel and support subscription method.
While reading on phone may not be the best media, it’s undeniable that phone ownership is more massive than tablet. In Indonesia it’s no different. Zinio has been in phone since long time ago and it’s about time that local magazine app tries to bring local contents in the size of human palm too. The price ranges from free to $4.99. If asked about the experience, in my own opinion, it’s somewhat acceptable. With 3.5 inch retina display, the font is readable with lots of pinch and zoom activities for better experience.
Wayang Force is developed by PhaseDev and previously has been available on iPad and Android platform. We can also access Wayang Force directly from computer. Other than app business, Wayang Force creates gallery (and cafe) at one of prestigious mall in Central Jakarta to introduce the product to the customers.
