Safari Books Online’s “Safari To Go” Apps for iOS and Android Now Available
Safari Books Online (www.safaribooksonline.com) today announced their next generation Safari To Go apps which are free apps designed specifically for Apple and Android phone and tablet users.
The new apps are more than “mobile-ready” versions of Safari Books Online – they allow users to consume and manage content, navigating in a familiar and comfortable environment, from their mobile device of choice. The Safari To Go apps make learning on the go convenient and easy by giving users the ability to pick up where they left off from any Safari Books Online reading platform. This means that a user can access Safari Books Online, begin a reading session from a PC and easily pick up where they left off from their iPhone, iPad, Android phone or Android tablet device.
The Safari To Go apps can be downloaded from the Apple App store and from Google Play for Android device owners.
Safari To Go iOS and Android apps provide the following:
- Offline Bookbag capacity increased to allow the download of 3 books for reading without an Internet connection
- Synched Recent Views, Bookmarks & Folders across all devices used to access Safari Books Online
- 3G & 4G optimized for faster load times and smaller data overhead
- Adaptive Bitrate Streaming for optimal video playback based on available bandwidth
- Updated User Interface making navigation of folders, content and searches a breeze
- New “Browse” encourages discovery of books & videos across a broad range of categories and interests
- Grouped Bookmarks by title create better organization of key materials
- Smart Lists allow for saving of a search and following new titles that match the search results (which automatically update as new titles are added to the library)
