"Our readers are passionate about their outdoor pursuits and we are passionate in our pursuit to get them the information they need," said Eric Zinczenko, Vice President, Group Publisher of Field & Stream. "We are thrilled with our partnership with Zumobi to create this app, as it offers mobile access to our award-winning content to an even larger consumer group."
The Field & Stream Online App brings the latest news, tips and advice from the magazine to readers wherever they are, whenever they want.

The Field & Stream Online App also offers compelling advertising opportunities, as demonstrated by Ford's F-150 campaign.

"First and foremost, we partner with brands like Field & Stream to bring their content to the mobile platform in an easily digestible and attractive way for users. Because we publish the apps directly, our rich media ad platform offers the advertisers we work with many more options and advantages than they would find in working with a traditional mobile ad network. Providing benefits to both our publishing partners and advertising partners is fundamental to our business."
