***************************************************
The following is issued on behalf of the Legislative Council Secretariat:
The Legislative Council Secretariat (the Secretariat) released an upgraded version (version 3.0) of the mobile application for the Legislative Council (LegCo App) today (March 8).
Since the LegCo App (version 1.0) launched in February 2014, the Secretariat has been seeking to strengthen its functions to make it a more convenient tool for users to access various types of Legislative Council (LegCo) information. Following the inclusion of webcast of LegCo meetings and e-books of LegCo procedures in version 2.0, two new functions, namely "Press Release" and "Push Notification", and a revamped "Photo Gallery" are introduced in the current upgrade.
Descriptions of each new feature are as below:
Press Release
-------------
This new feature allows users to read the latest press releases issued by the Secretariat on their mobile devices. Users can also search for past press releases published in the current LegCo term.
Push Notification
-----------------
With subscription to "Push Notification", users will receive notification messages upon the issue of press releases and announcements by the Secretariat so that they can stay up-to-date with council business.
Revamped "Photo Gallery"
------------------------
Photos in the current Photo Gallery have been re-organised according to their categories into levels of sub-albums, which will provide users a quick access to the photos of a particular LegCo meeting or activity.
Members of the public may now download the upgraded LegCo App (version 3.0) or perform upgrade for free from Apple App Store or Google Play, as appropriate, for their mobile devices to keep themselves abreast of LegCo business. The app is also available for download from the LegCo Website at www.legco.gov.hk/english/mobile-app.html. It supports devices running on Apple iOS (version 6.0 or later) and Android (version 4.1 or later).
