“For 130 years, National Geographic has been igniting the explorer in all of us through ground-breaking storytelling across our unparalleled portfolio of media assets,” said David Miller, executive vice president and general manager of National Geographic Media. “The new app is a valuable addition to this portfolio as it further expands our touchpoints beyond our television channels, magazines, travel offerings, books, events, and existing digital and social platforms that already reach millions of consumers around the world every month.”

For the first time, the National Geographic app has been developed for both Apple’s iOS ecosystem and Google’s Android operating system, bringing National Geographic’s 130-year storytelling legacy to consumers all over the world. Designed to learn from users’ behavior, the app will continually refine their experience through the “For You” tab that highlights the most relevant, curated content to provide a highly personalized experience. Content will be refreshed regularly; it currently features:

  • Over 3,000 long- and short-form videos
  • Over 28,000 photos by some of National Geographic’s legendary photographers
  • Curated archive of National Geographic magazines, including the original issue from 1888
