The Onion has launched its official iPhone app, sponsored by Jack Link’s Beef Jerky. The application presents the award-winning news, analysis and attention-grabbing headlines all Onion fans, myself included, love.
Among the things you’ll be able to enjoy while on the go are Onion Radio News, Onion News Network video, sports, opinion editorials, statshots, infographics and more. In addition, you can search and view The Onion’s online content archives and save items for offline viewing (very handy). Paid upgrades featuring enhanced functionality will be made available throughout 2010.
If you’re not familiar with The Onion (shame on you), you should know it’s the “last bastion of reliable, unbiased, and definitive news reporting in a world dominated by superficial, mediocre, non-Onion-related media outlets.” During the past 21 years, it has expanded from a humble local weekly to a national print readership and online audience of 7 million a month.
And if you remember, this isn’t the first Onion iPhone app we’ve seen – in September of last year we talked about their Microfiche application.
