"Glam Life" Marks Third Mobiles Republic App to Reach Top 10 on Android Market

NEW YORK, Dec. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobiles Republic, a leading developer of mobile applications for smartphones and tablet devices, today announced that its celebrity/lifestyle news and video aggregation app "Glam Life" reached the top 10 on Android Market's Top Free Lifestyle Apps chart in December.  This marks the third Mobiles Republic app to reach the Top 10, following its flagship news app "News Republic" and technology news app "APPY Geek."

"This triple crown validates our decision to offer both a general news app and specialized versions for technology and lifestyle enthusiasts," says Gilles Raymond, CEO, Mobiles Republic. "We very much appreciate Android users choosing our applications, and will continue to provide the most robust, customizable and user-friendly news apps on the market."

Glam Life is a free smartphone app that delivers breaking celebrity news, gossip, lifestyle, and fashion news about the rich and famous, fashion scoops and tips from a variety of blogs and news outlets.  The app allows users to create customized "myNews" channels that filter this mass of information down to their exact topics of interest (ex. "Brad Pitt," "Dior collection," "Miami parties").  They can then click on headlines to view video news and read complete articles -- not just RSS feeds -- all within the same window, without having to follow links outside the app.  Finally, they can further research the stories that are most important to them by using the app's Word Cloud feature to bring up related articles, YouTube links and Wikipedia entries. Real-time alerts keep users completely in touch and up to speed when important news breaks on their favorite subjects.

Glam Life is available in five editions, including English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.  It can be downloaded for the Android Phone and iPhone at www.glamlife.me/.
