There's a clear and concise flow to get informed consent for your data collection, Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
Make it your own
Your app should reflect everything your station does. Change the look and feel to match your brand, and curate the best of your content.
Customize the colours, logos and more. It's easy to update through our CMS, see a preview and update at any time. You'll see the changes when you next open the app.
The home screen is your editorial space to link to news, podcasts, photo galleries, web content and more.
Customize the navigation for even more content. We have pages designed especially for the app or you can link to anywhere else on the web.
If you have an Aiir website, it's even easier to showcase your best work. Just add it once to the CMS and it'll be available across all devices.

Yes, you'll need to register your own accounts and pay their fees. We'll guide you through this.
No, our apps are only available on a per-year basis. Apps require a considerable upfront effort to launch and ongoing maintenance so we believe a yearly commitment is fair and reasonable.

You can purchase either or both, it's up to you.
Unfortunately it's not possible to offer this to every customer. You'll get to see what the app looks like when you customize it in our platform though.
This isn't a simple answer unfortunately! We'll get you into our platform as quickly as possible so you can start setting up, but there are many other variables such as Apple and Google's review process.
This is only available if you purchase Studio Inbox in addition to our app.
No, sorry — we're not able to offer refunds for apps. The setup of an app requires the dedicated time of our team, so it's not feasible for us to refund.
Get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.
* We support two platforms - iOS and Android.
** We strive to ensure our apps meet the guidelines set out by Apple and Google but when apps are submitted for approval they may still be rejected due to the content within the app or a change of rules. If your app or its content is found by the review team to violate the Apple App Store or Google Play Store's terms and conditions, we will work with you to ensure your app is resubmitted once issues have been resolved, however we cannot guarantee approval. Our fee covers the build of an app using our codebase (custom modifications are not permitted), technical support of the app, periodic updates approved by us and use of our CMS to manage the content of the app. Our fee does not cover inclusion of the app in the stores.
