Gareth Cliff, together with the Core Group, has introduced the first “personality” iTunes app in SA.
The 5FM breakfast show host and M-Net Idols judge says: “More than ever before, the way people access information and entertainment is changing with new technology, new perceptions of value and, of course, new media. I'm delighted to be able to offer my audience additional content in a fresh, cool way.”
According to Cliff's manager and business partner in One on One Productions, Rina Broomberg, the launch of the Wake App Call is the logical next step for Cliff in the convergence of media, content and technology.
The app is free to download and is available on iPhone and iPod Touch, with the iPad launch coming next month.
The Gareth Cliff app features an alarm clock with a variety of Cliff wake-up calls, as well as location-based weather updates. It also includes Cliff's daily video blog and integrates his Twitter and Facebook communities.
"With a total of 15 billion app downloads and a selection of over 465 000 apps, the iTunes App Store has started an app phenomenon worldwide,” says executive director of Core Group RJ van Spaandonk.
“Locally, we are thrilled with the interest in apps and app development and encourage developers to create South African content. The launch of the Gareth Cliff app is a great addition to locally relevant apps for South Africans.”
