In-app purchase features improvement, with the introduction of a new type of subscription for users who wish to opt out of providing privacy consent to the app.

The latest enhancement of the Digital Edition features introduces the ability to configure different templates of the Edicola section based on the day of the week. This functionality allows for displaying different configurations of the section, with the goal of promoting specific editions and/or supplements on targeted days. The development involved both the app and backend services.

The second enhancement of the Digital Edition features concerns the introduction of a push notification sent as soon as the National edition becomes available, with the goal of increasing user engagement in the Edicola section. The backend systems generate and send the notification immediately after detecting the edition’s availability on the DE provider’s systems. This process is also fully automated.

A new phase of development for the Digital Edition features begins. The first enhancement concerns the introduction of the preview of the National edition of Gazzetta dello Sport. The development involved the app, backend systems, and the provider’s systems. The preview edition is shown to the user only if the backend detects its availability on the DE provider’s system, automatically switching to the National edition as soon as it is published. The entire process is fully automated.

The Blueshift SDK has been integrated into the app, opening a new engagement channel with users through targeted and personalized marketing notifications.

In version 4.1.0, the Digital Edition features are released, giving rise to the so-called "App Unica." For the first time, users can read both the website news and the digital version of La Gazzetta dello Sport within the same app. The Edicola section groups together the different editions of Gazzetta and its supplements in a tabbed structure that is easy for users to navigate. Version 4.1.0 is also the first to offer partial offline use, particularly for publications downloaded from the Edicola section and saved in its Archivio subsection. Alongside the Digital Edition, version 4.1.0 also introduced tablet support.

The migration from Airship to Firebase Cloud Messaging was carried out as the push notification provider for the apps on both operating systems. In addition to the migration to the new SDK, some microservices were implemented to manage the topics to which users are subscribed.

For the first time, a vertical subscription is made available, dedicated specifically to a single section of the Gazzetta dello Sport website. The app was updated not only to support this type of subscription but also to further increase its flexibility, ensuring that its elements are displayed to the user in the appropriate form based on the subscriptions they have purchased.

The latest round of app restyling focuses on the purchase storefront. The previous storefront, which consisted of a flat list of offers, was improved to provide greater visibility of the available subscription types and to allow the Marketing department to further customize the screen in order to improve product sales.

The second round of restyling involves the notifications section and its related configuration screen for followed topics. The first improvement focuses on enhancing the usability of the inbox screen. The second improvement regards the notification settings screen, where topics are properly grouped to improve screen navigability.

A restyling phase begins for several sections and screens of the Gazzetta app. The first round of restyling involves the navigation menu, reducing its verticality while introducing groups and element grids. In the same version, the G+ section is also updated, improving the app’s structure and leading to greater customization of screen headers.

Version 3.0.15 is released on the App Store and Google Play.
