Working on a News App. Thoughts?

Question

I'm working on a project which is a curated news app.  I believe that most news apps out there lack a good use experience. Especially, the news websites are so bad with all ads popping up. I'm not sure how to monetize it, but I'm pretty sure that a well designed news app is in demand.

What are your thoughts on this? And are there any good news apps that you use/know about that provide a better experience?

Accepted Answer

To make your app successful, focus on user-friendly design and intuitive navigation that allows users to effortlessly discover relevant articles. Ensure that the content comes from reliable and credible sources, while also implementing fact-checking measures to combat misinformation. Personalization features, such as customizable news feeds and topic preferences, can enhance the user experience. Incorporate engaging multimedia elements and encourage social sharing and community interaction. Strive for optimal performance and consider various monetization strategies. By staying attentive to user feedback and evolving with industry trends, your News App can become a go-to platform for staying informed.

I would like to have a map where i can touch the region and read the news about that region, like http://radio.garden but for news.

Well, I agree with you regarding good experience and annoying adv popping up.

Here is my advice:
- Keep the headline small because people usually like to read news quickly. Not wanna spend 1-3 minutes just to read one news. So, add highlights.
- Use google sans font also add an option to increase font size in the app. 
- Maybe add some sort of stuff that assistant will read news for you. 
- Keep separate toggle for national and international news. 
- When user click the headline then it opens a window for whole information.
- Keep some bottom padding (space) for advertisement as people usually ignore that space and you can still earn money.
- Use good quality images and if possible add a small clip with important news + also add toggle to enable/disable autoplay video just to save data and battery.
-keep the app free cuz I want one 😁.

Hope some of my ideas help you :)

@rds1  thank you. I'm definitely taking notes. but interestingly, I started working on the app since January and a lot of the features you mentioned are actually included in my design. That's crazy.

maybe we're thinking alike 🤣 or the solution is obvious for the given problem statement. thank you so much.
