by Genny David Author

Technological advancements have impacted every aspect of people’s lives. From communication to acquiring information about their surroundings, everything now depends on mobile phones. But why have news apps become so widespread recently? Relying on traditional newspapers can cause you to miss out on important updates. The news published through these newspapers is already outdated with televisions and radios rapidly broadcasting the events. This is why mobile applications have surpassed the print media- by being quicker, more reliable and free.

News app development involves creating a user friendly digital outlet for devices. This approach makes reading news easy and more fun. Applications are far more advanced than the web pages broadcasting news. 

HOW DO NEWS APPS MAKE MONEY:

News app development can be quite rewarding if an effective strategy that combines various models of revenue generation is used. Some ways of monetizing these apps are:

  • Subscription- The most popular way of monetizing apps is by providing enhanced functionality and other benefits to paid subscribers. Full versions of the content can be made available only to the premium app users. 

  • Freemium: A clipped version of the app can be made free while the full one can be charged for. Freemium involves providing basic services to the users for free while charging for advanced options.

  • Advertising- Advertisements are how most mobile applications generate revenue. In app purchases can further increase your earnings through a mobile app.

WHAT MAKES NEWS APPS BETTER THAN WEBPAGES:

Mobile apps can provide a more personalized experience to the users. These apps are far more user friendly and have a significantly lower bounce rate when compared to web pages. This is due to the decreased loading time and increased ease of navigation.

News apps are more engaging than webpages because the content is curated as per the likes and interests of the reader.  This makes them feel more important than just a passive reader. 

Attracting new consumers and retention of existing users is far higher in apps as compared to websites.  The demand for better mobile apps is on the rise. The more interactive your app is, the higher the chances of it being a success.

FEATURES OF NEWS APP DEVELOPMENT:

Every news app requires some essential features. These features enhance the accessibility of an app.

  • Feed- A well designed feed that is thematically split and can be personalized for everyone is crucial for a successful news app. The best way of ensuring more downloads is by having an eye catching feed. 

  • Media- The media content on the app should appeal to the users. Using the right type of media, such as images and videos, can attract many more people.

  • Filter- To ease the experience for the users, an efficient filtering system that displays the most relevant topics is important. 

  • Search- Being able to search for specific topics is also a prerequisite for news apps. The users should be able to browse content based on categories that make accessing the relevant information easier.

  • Social Media Sharing-. Integrating social media platforms with news app makes the whole experience better and more engaging for the users. People can share topics of their interest on other platforms which can help promote your app.

  • Bookmarks- To be able to save the articles and not having to find them again in the future, bookmarks help in improving the user experience on your apps.
