theSkimm App is Finally Here!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Villanova chapter.

**Attention Skimm lovers everywhere**

You have spent the past few weeks/months/years waking up with theSkimm, but you want more.  More news, more pop culture, more witty banter to make you laugh even before your first sip of coffee.  Well, your prayers have been answered. 

(Pause.  You’ve never heard of theSkimm and have no idea what I’m talking about?!?! Start here then… http://www.hercampus.com/school/villanova/5-reasons-why-you-should-subscribe-theskimm.)

So what is the big news, exactly?  theSkimm at your fingertips.  That’s right – theSkimm now has a fancy new app, theSkimm for iPhone, which will give you your Daily Skimm, as well as a new calendar service, Skimm Ahead, all in one place.

You can integrate Skimm Ahead into your Google, Apple, or Outlook calendar on your smartphone – so now you have reminders of what is going on in the world right next to what is going on in your life.  When is Beyonce dropping Lemonade on HBO?  This Saturday, right after you get home from happy hour with the girls.  When does the NFL Draft start? Next Thursday, when you get back from your 6:30 spin class with your favorite hipster instructor.  Still confused?  See how Skimm Ahead will appear in your calendar below:

The Skimm Ahead calendar events are in purple while my own are in blue.  You can also click on links in the events, which will lead you to more information.

Skimm Ahead even has notes for things you might need more background on (i.e. Game of Thrones).

 

As you can see, theSkimm’s got your back.  Head to the App Store ASAP to get in on the action for just $2.99/month.
