User Interface & Navigation

First impressions are powerful, and The Sun Mobile definitely delivers in this department, as it takes you right to the top stories of the day when you launch this app. The stories have high-definition images along with the photos and videos pertinent to the story.

There is also the ability to filter the news displayed to you either in chronological order (Latest) or by popularity (Most Read).

Gesture-based features mean that you can pull up a menu by swiping from the left side of the screen to the right. Options include All, Sport, News, Showbiz, Regulars, Scotland, and many others. The user interface is very impressive both in design as well as in performance.
