US popular newsbrand People has launched its first app backed by a 65-strong dedicated team at parent company Dotdash Meredith.

The launch of the app comes just over three years after tech publisher Dotdash acquired US magazine giant Meredith for $2.8bn.

CEO Neil Vogel told Press Gazette the People app is like nothing else on the market and will offer readers of the popular news title a completely different experience from its website, social media platforms and existing digital edition.
