Facebook ‘Paper’ Is No Longer Available from App Store

Facebook announced that they will remove ‘Paper’ newsreader app from app store. Existing users will not be able to continue using this service since July 29. We would like to share more details in this post. By the way, if you need to make your apps rank in the app store, feel free to check app rank boosting service via our website!

When it debuted in early 2014, Paper garnered critical acclaim for its streamlined interface and fresh take on feed customization. Like a traditional newsreader, the app allowed users to arrange updates by category, but eschewed common user interface elements like virtual buttons in favor of interactive animations. For example, photos, status updates and articles were displayed in full screen, while browsing was accomplished via a swipe-able card system. 

Dreamed up by Mike Matas of Push Pop Press, a digital book developer purchased by Facebook in 2011, Paper enjoyed a small but devout following, though development stopped as the company moved on to other projects. The iOS app version has not been updated for over a year. The group in charge of Paper, Facebook's Creative Labs, ceased operations in December and Matas departed months later.
Facebook company claimed that their goal for Paper is to explore new immersive, interactive design elements for reading and interacting with content on Facebook, and they have learned how important these elements are in giving people an engaging experience.
