Comments: 0


InformationWeek, a print and online magazine and leading news source for information technology professionals, recently named the 10 best government apps, judging each for their visual appeal and functionality.

“One of the more visually compelling government iPad apps is the interactive Marines magazine, which publishes quarterly. Touch screen navigation lets users move from page to page with a flick of the wrist, and articles sometimes come with embedded video,” writes InformationWeek journalist J. Nicholas Hoover.

“The most recent issue of Marines magazine includes video of a Medal of Honor ceremony that accompanies an article about a marine who repeatedly returned to the line of fire to rescue fallen comrades, even after being wounded himself,” says Hoover.
