The document discusses the development and launch of an Android app called "Guardian Anywhere" that allows users to read newspapers offline on their Android devices. It provides statistics on downloads and user retention rates. It also discusses lessons learned in developing the app, such as opportunities provided by combining tags with SQL and how porting to Android was not very difficult. The app is available for licensing by others and is based on RSS feeds.
