Following on from our recent site redesign, we’re happy to announce that The Urban Shogun is now optimised for the iPad. Despite our best efforts to get a dedicated app into Apple’s App Store; it’s a much longer, trickier and much more expensive process than we initially thought. So we decided than rather go through all that rigmarole, we’d simply create an ad-free web app version of the site for tablet users.

Right now we’re testing the new design on the iPad but if successful, we’ll start rolling it out to other tablets. As of right now, it’s a new design for the iPad which we hope you’ll like. And if you’d like to replicate the experience of having a native app on your iPad, simply add the website to your homepage and TUS will be wherever you are.

We’re also in the process of bringing TUS to more devices, such as your smartphone, so that it’s much easier and nicer to read on smaller screens. As great as the iPhone and newer Android smartphones are at displaying web pages, it’s still not the greatest experience to be reading our site on.

So if you do have an iPad, let us know what you think of the new web app and what you’d like to see in future.
