Fotopedia Releases Updated Version of Popular National Parks App

Fotopedia today announced the rerelease of their popular National Parks app for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad. The app has been completely redone ahead of Earth Day and National Parks Week. First released in December 2010, Fotopedia National Parks is now fully compatible with the new iPad’s Retina display. In addition, the app now includes a new feature called Visual Stories, a new way to see the world one story at a time, in magazine format. Best of all, new stories are published several times a week. This feature recently arrived on other Fotopedia titles as well. According to Jean-Marie Hullot, CEO of Fotopedia:

“The stunning Retina display on the new iPad delivers four times as many pixels, so we decided to do the same with Fotopedia National Parks. The result is spectacular.”

Delivering a sharper and lifelike experience with high-definition images, National Parks takes people on a visual exploration of all 58 U.S. National Parks including Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Glacier National Park—with more than 3,000 breathtaking images created by renowned photographer Quang-Tuan Luong.
