Future PLC Created an App That Exclusively Delivers Royal Baby News

— July 17, 2013 — World
Since the Duchess of Cambridge's July 13th due date has come and gone, people are crazy for any royal baby news they can get their hands on. To take advantage of the buzz about the anticipated birth of Kate Middleton and Prince William's baby, Future PLC quickly created an app to deliver all of the latest news.

All of the latest royal baby news is free and includes access to the latest rumors circulating Twitter. In addition to this content, there are in-app purchases with downloadable packages with galleries of photos of previous royal births, relatives and other special royal moments.

The creation of this app was a smart move on the part of this digital publisher, satiating the need for information on the royal baby and promote itself as the source for hot topics online.
