Facebook has announced a new mobile app named Paper that could see the social network control a significant portion of the digital news market. The app will launch on 3 February for the iPhone in the US and promises a 'distraction-free layout' by pulling in new stories from various media publications. In terms of visual style and navigation, Paper appears to be similar to news-curating app Flipboard. Users navigate through Paper with a series of swipes; going from left to right to flip through stories, and pulling up or down to expand or shrink content.
In my opinion, I think that Facebook have created this app as it competes with the current market and apps that are dominating android and apple. The app is similar to Flipboard which has a unique style of flicking through news and also links to other things such as social networking sites.
