Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Every two weeks, Germany's largest IT editorial team presents you with tips, reports and reports that get to the bottom of the technology: thoroughly researched, critically analyzed and written independently. Choose between the original layout of the printed booklet or an interactive reading view for your tablet or smartphone. The optimized reading view presents articles in a user-friendly way with additional images, videos and interactive tables. Download the app for free today. You will receive a c’t and a special issue as a free reading sample. As a c't Plus or c't Digital subscriber, you can read c’t on your tablet or smartphone at no additional cost. To do this, enter your access data for the online subscription service under "Login" in the app menu. Please note that our terms of use apply to the use of the app. You can view these in advance at http://www.ct.de/app/nutzungsbedingungen. The app collects anonymous usage data, e.g. Provide information about which articles are read how often and for how long. The information helps us to better align the offer to the interests of the reader. No data is collected that could be used to identify you personally. Tracking is activated by default; you can deactivate it in the app settings. The app will occasionally send you push notifications. You can deactivate the receipt of push notifications at any time (app settings / communication). With our current app version 3.x we support the latest Android versions. The app versions 1.x and 2.x are out of date and are no longer supported or only to a very limited extent. It is no longer possible to download the outdated versions from the Playstore.
