Charlie Hebdo launches app version featuring prophet Muhammed cover
Demand for printed copies of Charlie Hebdo has outstripped supply.

A new app for French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has been released for iOS, Android and Windows devices, letting readers worldwide get hold of a copy without queueing at newsagents. The app is illustrated with the current cover, a cartoon of the prophet Muhammed, in a change from the norm for Apple’s notoriously censorious App Store which has previous banned satirical and controversial apps.

This shows that how much hate and how much more stereotypes can be created to spread more negativity about Islam, and prophet Muhammed, that new platforms are being found in order to support Charlie Hebdo.

- the app also offers annual subscriptions starting at £69.99, alongside the individual issues for £2.29
