The Editions app launched in the US today. It was developed by AOL's mobile first team, who were tasked with creating a 30- to 40-page daily magazine based on the preferences of each iPad user.

The internet giant has teamed up with several publishers but no key advertisers are believed to be involved in the launch edition.

David Temkin, head of mobile at AOL, said: "Our goal for Editions was to take the best of the online and offline reading experiences and fuse them into a single, sleek magazine unlike anything else that exists today.

"By combining custom features with technology that learns about you as you use it, Editions delivers a magazine every day that's full of the things you care about most."

Every Edition of the daily will contain a cover, a list of top articles and a final page that features the reader's daily horoscope.

Users can choose content from topics including design, tech, business, family, health and fitness, sports, entertainment and travel.
