STV has unveiled four new digital services offering the latest news, events, deals, pictures and videos to the people of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee.

Available as apps on Android and iOS devices STV Glasgow, STV Edinburgh, STV Aberdeen and STV Dundee feature a constantly updated feed of everything happening in the city, including breaking news, the latest on social media, travel, weather and upcoming events.

Places to eat along with daily offers and reviews as well as simple table booking and directions also feature as part of the locally-targeted service. Trailers, reviews and show times for the latest film releases, and What’s On listings for all major venues, aim to help consumers make the most of their city.

A ‘Favourites’ section allows users to personalise the app, saving ideas for places to eat and things to do.

“The new city services further strengthen STV’s portfolio of digital offerings for online consumers…The concept behind these new services is “your city in your hand” and we hope the apps will inspire with great ideas for going out, eating and exploring Scotland’s four biggest cities, with information and offers always kept up to date by STV’s team of dedicated journalists,” said STV head of digital publishing, David Milne.

The launch marks the next generation of STV’s digital services, reinforcing its commitment to serving local audiences. The apps are available in the relevant app stores and accompanied by desktop and mobile sites.
