Native apps
Your publication, on every screen they carry.
Real native apps for iPhone and Android, under your name in the App Store and on Google Play. Not a website in a wrapper: stories set in your type, alerts that open the exact story, and sponsors in the feed. Live today for three titles, with iPad and Apple Watch in development.
Every screen
iPhone, Android, iPad, Apple Watch
Readers meet you on the device in their hand, their bag and on their wrist. Here is where each one stands today, said plainly.
Live
Android
The same publication on Google Play, built natively for Android rather than ported.
- Push alerts that open the story
- Links to your site open in the app
- The same sign-in as your website
In development
iPad
A reading layout made for the bigger screen, for the reader who settles in with the whole issue.
- Not in the store yet
- Comes to every title at once
In development

- Comes to every title at once
In the stores today
Three titles. Six apps. One platform underneath.
Long Island Wave, Gold Coast Wave and Creations Magazine each ship their own iPhone and Android apps, in their own colors and type, from the same code and the same HQ. These are screenshots of the real apps, not mockups.

- Gold Coast WaveDaily South Florida news, on the App Store and Google Play since October 2026
- Creations MagazineA 40-year wellness magazine, with reader circles
Push, from HQ
Breaking news, on the lock screen in seconds
New stories alert readers on their own, capped per batch so a busy morning never turns into a flood. For anything bigger, the push composer in HQ shows the alert on a lock screen as you type it, then sends it to every iPhone, every Android phone and every browser that asked. A tap opens the exact story, never the front page.
- One send reaches iPhone, Android and web readers together
- Automatic alerts on publish, or written by hand
- Opens straight to the story in the app
- Readers choose alerts in the app; nobody is signed up by default
What’s inside
Everything a reader expects from a real app
Built natively for each platform in Apple’s and Google’s own toolkits, so it scrolls, types and feels like it came with the phone.
Stories set properly
Every article is typeset natively in your fonts, with drop caps, photographs and pull quotes. Not a web page squeezed into a frame.
Alerts that land
Automatic alerts when stories publish and breaking news written in HQ. A tap opens the exact story.
Your events calendar
Every event you list on the site, grouped by day, with the place and time a tap away.
Search and save
Search the whole archive from the app, and save stories to come back to.
Sponsors in the feed
The same ad network runs inside the apps, so every sponsor you sell reaches app readers too.
One reader account
Readers sign in with the same one-time email code as your website, and can delete their account from the app.

Next: iPad and Apple Watch
Neither is in the stores yet. When they ship, every title on Wave Publisher gets them in the same update, with nothing to rebuild on your side.
In development
iPad
A layout built for the larger screen rather than a stretched phone: your sections beside the story, photographs at full width, and the print issue readable at page size. Every title on the platform gets it in the same update.
In development
Apple Watch
Breaking alerts that read properly on the wrist, a glance at the day’s lead story, and a tap to hand it to the phone to read in full. Every title on the platform gets it in the same update.
Put your masthead on their home screen.
