has introduced an iPad app called Planet Art, which collects and organises news, features and market stories from a range of sources into custom content streams.

The app is free of charge from the Apple App Store. The app is being introduced during the December 2014 opening of Art Basel in Miami Beach, US, one of the largest annual events in the art calendar.

Planet Art can read, index and rank information from mainstream media, traditional art world news outlets, niche publications and blogs. Featuring what UBS says is a simple and intuitive design, the app organises stories from a diverse range of news sources into three categories: News, Features and The Market. The app draws content from RSS sources offering publicly available information.

At the time of launch, highlights of some of the news sources currently featured in Planet Art include: The Art Newspaper; ARTnews; Art in America; ArtFCity; Art Asia Pacific (China); BBC Culture blog (UK); Financial Times (UK); The Guardian (UK); New York Observer’s Art & Gallerist; The New York Times; and The Wall Street Journal, among others.
