Closely following its one year anniversary, Trend Media Group, the leading Caribbean digital media company and publishers of online news app and website Loop, has unveiled the newest version of its app, which will see customers enjoying an improved experience when they update or download the app from the Android, Windows and Apple app store, a release said.
Already operating in the Cayman Islands, Barbados, Curacao, Jamaica and T&T, Loop's upgrade will see customers experiencing its new layouts and features–in line with plans to make the app available in more countries in this year.
Commenting on the new version, Trend Media Group CEO, Richie Kelly, said, "Our customers spoke and we heard them loud and clear. With innovation at the forefront of our operations, coupled with best in class service, we would like to say thank you to our over 450,000 valued customers who have made Loop the number one news app in the Caribbean in just one year."
He further explained; "With the newest upgrade to the app, customers will now enjoy a sleeker design and an easy to access application and website layout. In addition, we have strategically partnered with some of the world's leading apps to provide our clients with value added services and we are happy to be first in the region with our offerings as a true online full service digital agency."
Customers can simply update or download Loop in the Android, Windows and Apple app store to get the latest news and more. As Trend Media forges ahead to provide best in class experience for its customers, the Loop mobile application support for versions of BlackBerry older than BB10 will be discontinued come June 10..
Trend Media took the decision after feedback from its users and an exhaustive examination of current market trends, as well as the technological challenges associated with developing a quality product for customers on the pre-BB10 BlackBerry mobiles.
Research shows that only three per cent of the entire Loop customer base uses BlackBerry versions that are older than Blackberry10, as smartphone demand and market share in the Caribbean continues to shift away from this legacy software.
To this end, despite the discontinuation of app support, pre-BB10 users can still access the Loop websites after June 10.
