Fake news is optimized for the tablet form factor. Somewhat modest capabilities include reading prank stories in portrait or landscape, in-app video and social sharing – the basic stuff you’d expect from a news reader.

If The Onion website is already part of your morning news routine, you will without doubt love their iPad app.
