The Wave apps are real apps, built for each device: a glance on your wrist, a full read on your phone, the calendar spread out on an iPad, and the same publication on any computer. Every screen on this page is the real app.
Free on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android. No subscription, and no account needed to read.
Open the app and the publication is leading with what matters today: the lead story large, then the rest of the day in order, with a row of sections across the top to narrow it to news, business, food and drink, health or lifestyle.

Every story opens in the publication's own type with its photograph, a drop cap and room to breathe. Press Listen and the story is read aloud, so it goes with you on the drive or the train.

The events calendar for the whole region, sorted by day: what is on right now, tonight, and over the weekend. Each event has the date, the time and the address, with directions, the organizer's page and a button to put it in your own calendar.

Tell the app where you will be and what you are into, and Your Weekend picks from every event on the calendar for Friday to Sunday. Save the ones you want and the plan is there when you need it.

Each town has a page of its own: the weather, what is coming up there and the stories from it. Follow the towns you care about and the app leads with them.

Once a year readers nominate their favorites and then vote, category by category, from the best pizza to the best bagel. The results are announced in the app, and every finalist is checked by the newsroom before it reaches the ballot.

Read in light, in dark, or let the phone decide, and set the text to a size your eyes agree with. Turn on news alerts for the big local stories, and sign in with a six-digit code if you want what you save to follow you to your next phone.

Every Wave is a full iPad app, not a phone app stretched to fit: the front page in columns, stories set wide with their photographs, and the calendar with room to see the day. The same account and the same saved stories as the phone.
The Watch app opens on the story the publication is leading with, the same one on the front of the app and the website, with the next headlines below it. Pull down to refresh. Raise your iPhone and the story is waiting there to keep reading.

The Android app is built for Android, not wrapped: the same front page, stories, calendar, towns and Your Weekend, in Android's own way of moving around. Whichever phone you carry, it is the same publication.

Every Wave is also a full website, with the same stories, the events calendar and the places directory, so a story shared from the app opens on any screen, and the newsroom's front page is one address away.
