Any benefit to free subscriptions outside of Newsstand?

Sep 21, 2012 8:41 AM

Tags: #dps #newsstand #free_subscriptions

Situation: We have a client who will publish free folios to a free multi-viewer app. The client wants the app to live outside of Newsstand.

 

What we know: Free folios show up in the app as soon as they're published. But, Apple offers the ability to configure free subscriptions.

 

Our question: What's the benefit in configuring free subscription for non-Newsstand apps? Or, does Apple simply require free subscriptions for free-folio/free-multi-issue apps to live in Newsstand?

 

 

Thanks, as always.

    Apple created the Free Subscriptions option specifically to enable apps with free content to work in Newsstand. I see no benefit in setting up free subscriptions outside of Newsstand, and I don't even know if it's possible.

    Great. That's was our hunch, but we wanted to go to the source. Thanks!
