With the ‘Illustreret Videnskab’ app, users are taken along on a journey of discovery – from the world’s tallest and steepest cliffs to the outermost frontiers of the universe. On this journey, users can enjoy the latest news from researchers at the forefront of their fields, as well as exciting stories about new technological breakthroughs – always accompanied by scientific explanations.

The editorial team behind ‘Illustreret Videnskab’ had the ambition to create an interactive experience around the magazine, aware that most people turn to their phones during their breaks. Because of its immersive nature, the ‘Illustreret Videnskab’ app is one of those apps that keep users engaged for a really long time.

‍

The app consists of carefully crafted, exclusive content and is meant to work as a supplement to the print magazine. The app therefore makes ‘Illustreret Videnskab’ relevant in new situations.

‍

Throughout the development of the app, the focus has been on graphics that add an extra layer to the user experience. What’s more, users can browse the comprehensive library of articles and will continuously get served suggestions for related articles.

Here at Shortcut, we have headed up the technical development of the app in both iOS and Android, while the design work has been taken care of in-house at Bonnier Publications.
