Case Study: KSF Media renews mobile newspaper apps with Digia

KSF Media launches mobile newspaper apps with Digia, reaching 10,000+ downloads

KSF Media, Finland's leading Swedish-language media agency, needed to renew its mobile apps for its three newspapers to improve user experience, engage readers more deeply, and support new earnings models. They partnered with Digia to develop a shared platform and new mobile applications for iOS and Android, seeking high technical expertise to overcome the limitations of their existing app.

Digia implemented a hybrid app solution using React and native technologies, ensuring excellent performance and a native feel for users. The collaboration was agile and co-located, allowing for rapid prototyping and development. As a result, the new Hufvudstadsbladet app was launched in December 2019, followed by apps for the local papers in spring 2020. Digia's work provided KSF Media with a fast, reliable, and flexible platform that is expected to grow its user base and facilitate future development, including in-app subscriptions.
