App of the Month: In Out Appetite for Life

Developed through InfoLab21's Funded Business Support programme, ISTEP, this App was created alongside a mobile website for In Out Magazine, a free lifestyle, food and drink magazine by Chester based company UK IO Publishing Ltd.

The company wanted to develop a mobile presence and with guidance from the ISTEP Team it was decided that a mobile version of the In Out Magazine website (viewable on any phone that has internet access) would be created along with simple complementary iPhone and Android mobile applications that linked to the mobile website.

Created by PhD student Mark Lochrie, the app is available for both iPhone and Android and features allow users to:

  • Search for restaurants, hotels and spas by area
  • Watch the INOUT short films showcasing local venues, chefs and produce
  • Explore the INOUT recipe archive
  • Keep up to date with the INOUT blogs and monthly online newsletter
  • Search for events by area and category
  • Enter competitions
  • Learn about the INOUT 15% club

"The ISTEP Programme has rejuvenated In Out and it has taken us into the 21st Century enabling us to offer more added value to our clients." Giles Cooper, Managing Director, UK IO Publishing Ltd.
