The free app helps users:
- Browse high-quality, high-resolution photos
- Easily find both live and on-demand video

The app presents the top news visually, as a series of images and topics rather than a traditional list of headlines.

The iPad is the first of eight WRAL apps designed exclusively for the iPad. To see our complete inventory of apps for iPhone, iPad, Android and Kindle, visit our Mobile download page.
