PROJECT OVERVIEW
With the advent of the smartphone, there are a million and one ways to keep abreast of even the most obscure of news sources.
Having said that – Mobile phones are some of our most personal devices. They’ve changed how we produce, distribute, and engage with the news.
ABOUT THE CLIENT
Leading Indian Media Conglomerate has a flagship fortnightly Indian English-language news magazine published for the Indian audience. The group has grown to be one of India’s most diversified media conglomerates with interests in hugely scalable businesses. The portfolio encompasses magazines, TV channels, and newspapers.
THE REQUIREMENT
While having a strong website and desktop experience to draw from is crucial for news agencies, the mobile app promises something more appealing to most of the viewership audience. For publishers hoping to attract and retain an audience, the news mobile app could prove to be the breeding ground for greater, quicker, and longer-retained subscribers.
With the app, there is a genuine attempt to create a more personalized and customizable news app, redesigned from the ground up to fit how people consume news on mobile devices.
THE SOLUTION
At Emorphis Technologies, our aim was clear to create a seamless experience where users are empowered to choose which news section fits user interests. The news app includes several innovations based on mobile usage patterns, including a newsfeed-style design that takes a cue from social media platforms. We designed a flexible system of storytelling components that let them tell each story in a way that fits it.
The elegant and intuitive mobile app presents news content in a simple and concise way, automatically generating concise summaries that are easy for the user to digest. The user interface is state-of-the-art with no buttons and a minimalist approach. The innovative design gestures make sharing articles and playing with the app fun. Users can also share summaries with friends through social channels, SMS, and email.
