Get all the latest and greatest stories fresh outta Bali faster than a falling coconut. This is not a drill.
Coconuts has just launched our newest, freshest, and coolest app ever — for your enhanced reading pleasure, of course.
We know you’ve got tons of apps on your phone already, so why do you need this baby? Well, let us give it to ya straight:
1. It provides instant access to our compelling original content from Bali, but also all across the region
Our editors from all over Southeast Asia and Hong Kong have written articles that any news junkie should definitely read. Using Coconuts’ new app, you can read our original feature on how a development calling itself the “Island of Happiness” has kicked local warungs off the beach in Serangan; an exclusive interview with a diver who was 22 meters deep when the Lombok earthquake hit; as well as our interview with a Thai woman who’s campaigning to get sex toys legalized in her country — complete with a photo of an impressive dildo!
2. You can read our groundbreaking reportage wherever you may be
Whether you’re chilling on the beach with a Bintang in hand, sitting in a car stuck in traffic on Sunset Road, in between yoga classes or surf sessions, or waiting for that Go-Jek order to be delivered, the Coconuts app is right there with you. You can say “sampai jumpa” to your cumbersome laptop and “aysiiikkk” to easier mobile browsing.
3. You’ll receive notifications as the news happens, on the go
We’ve covered some of the region’s biggest events, from the Thai cave rescue to the massive Lombok earthquake. With the Coconuts app, you’re pretty much armed to the gills with news updates from all over the region.
4. Its user-friendly design was made for you
We get it — not everyone likes to read from a smartphone, no matter how large it may be. But fret not peeps. The app makes Coconuts’ pages look cleaner than if you were to read our articles from a mobile browser.
It will also let you switch from one Coconuts city to another as smoothly as Kelly Slater enters a wave, as quickly as Manny Pacquiao executes his hooks, as … you get the picture. And to top that off, you don’t have to log in and out. With the app, when you’re in, you’re in deep, darling.
So what are you waiting for? Download our sleek new app from this link.
If you want to experience the full benefits of the app though, be sure to join COCO+, the most awesome membership program you’ll ever come across. It’s your all-access pass to everything that our site has to offer (including original stories!) for only US$5 (about IDR70K) per month.
