MCV’s iPad app will be a digital version of the weekly magazine. Along with our authoritative news, features and product coverage, it will contain video segments and various ways to read the magazine.

Launching on iPad is part of our on-going commitment to making MCV content available on all devices,” said Intent Media MD Stuart Dinsey.

This digital edition will bring to life our print edition, with rich media options and even wider UK and international circulation.
