The Guardian Eyewitness App for iPad

What is the Guardian Eyewitness app for iPad?

Eyewitness is a self-updating gallery of the world's most distinctive and provocative photographs from the UK's most popular digital newspaper. It builds on the Guardian's flagship double-page photo series, with an interface optimised for the iPad device.

What features does it have?

Each time you open the app it will download the latest 100 photographs for you to browse chronologically or save indefinitely in your favourites area.

Every image is annotated with a "pro tip" written by our expert team of picture editors, explaining the photograph's technical and artistic attributes.

The app also features a video presented by the Guardian's head of photography, Roger Tooth, discussing the newspaper's commitment to photojournalism.

Double tap on a photograph to hide all tools and caption information and view the image in full-screen mode.

Is there a charge?

Thanks to our sponsorship deal with Canon, we are delighted to offer the Guardian Eyewitness app as a free download from the App store.

Are there further costs?

The app is currently sponsored by Canon, and at the moment you can use the app to view the last 100 images in the series and save any of them indefinitely in your favourites area. We are not ruling out the possibility of charging for this or additional functionality in the future.

The photographs available are just plain awesome and well worth checking out this app and website.
