    You can now get Stray Ferret news and features on an app -- which can be downloaded for free from the Apple app store and Google Play. The aim is to make our local stories even more accessible to the people of the Harrogate district

    app-launch

    The Stray Ferret has launched a free mobile app to make our news stories and content more accessible for regular readers.

    You can find the Stray Ferret app in the Apple app store or on Google Play. Click on the box below to download it.

    The app gives people who have Apple iPhones and iPads the option to get notifications of news stories from around the district - which has not previously been possible.




    Download the app before 31 December 2021 to enter our prize draw to win a meal for two at Carters restaurant at the DoubleTree by Hilton Harrogate Majestic Hotel & Spa.





    The move to create the Stray Ferret app shows a significant investment in the Stray Ferret which has seen a rapid growth in its readership and social media engagement since it launched in March 2020.

    In October the Stray Ferret saw record figures with more than 900,000 page views and more than 170,000 users.

    Commercially the website's advertising space sold out for the first time this month as local businesses began to spend on marketing again after the uncertainty and disruption of the covid pandemic.

    Tamsin O'Brien, director of the Stray Ferret said:

    "We hope the app will mean readers find us easier to access and use us more frequently.  The decision to launch a Stray Ferret app was driven by the requests of our readers who have continually asked us to create one.
    "The Stray Ferret has become the go-to online news service in the Harrogate district. We are delighted to launch this app and hope people download it and check it out regularly to get all the latest news and information in the district."
