Telegraph to charge for iPhone and Android apps

Telegraph Media Group is set to charge for its iPhone and Android apps, unless users are Telegraph print subscribers (£7 per week) or iPad subscribers (£9.99 per month).

Non-subscribers who want to download the mobile app will get a one-month free trial before a mobile-only fee kicks in. The new pricing strategy is expected to be released in the next few weeks.

New features on the Telegraph app include Premier League goal highlight videos following a deal with ESPN.

Sky News has also upgraded its iPhone app, although it remains free – unlike the broadcaster’s iPad app, which costs £4.99 per month.
