Klout introduced a new version of its iOS app that aims to unify the platform’s mobile and desktop experiences. The app offers users a personalized content stream which recommends articles based on the activity of the user’s friends and followers. This content can be shared, as well as supplemented with original images and location information.

The redesigned iOS app, created to work on the larger screens of iPads (in addition to iPhones), now gives users the ability to add push notifications in their recipes and includes a new iOS Photos Trigger that works with photos taken within a specific area.
