Corriere della Sera - Edicola Mobile development tech lead
Digital Edition app for Corriere della Sera. The app, developed entirely using native technology, integrates traditional authentication and in-app purchase features, offering readers a magazine reading experience through a native PDF browser. Content is also available offline thanks to a cache system that allows access to magazines even without an internet connection. Resource optimization was one of the top priorities during development, with the goal of offering readers an increasingly high-performance experience worthy of Italy's leading newspaper.

Problems and solutions The challenges we faced
Greater efficiency in developing new features
Bringing development in-house made it possible to speed up the creation of new functionalities, as well as to increase the quality of what is implemented.
Improved performance and resource consumption
The development of the new app prioritized performance right from the design phase. In the new version of the app, we therefore implemented an updated native layer, paying particular attention to optimizing performance and resource usage. Any web content was likewise optimized, adapting the logic of the website’s pages to how they operate within the app’s WebView.
