ABOUT THE APPLICATION

The NetGram News Android application extends the NetGram News platform to mobile users. It provides access to news, explainers, fact-checks, technology, business, science, and other information-focused content through a dedicated Android interface.

The application follows the same content direction as the NetGram News website, with an emphasis on detailed information, context, facts, and knowledge-focused reporting.


KEY FEATURES

News & Knowledge Feed

The application provides a mobile feed for browsing NetGram News content and accessing published stories directly from the Android app.

In-Depth Content

The app is built around more than just short headlines.

It includes detailed reports, background information and analysis around major events and topics.

The aim is to give readers more context about what happened, why it happened and how it may affect people.

Knowledge Alerts

The application supports knowledge-focused notifications that can bring important updates and stories directly to users.

Fact-Checking

The app includes fact-checking content covering viral claims, misinformation, rumours, and other topics where additional context or verification is useful.

Infographics & Facts

Some topics can be difficult to understand through plain text.

The platform also uses visual information, facts and infographics to make complex topics easier to follow.

ARTICLE SHARING

Users can share useful articles and information with others through supported sharing options. The Play Store listing specifically mentions sharing through platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram and Instagram.

Clean Reading Interface

The interface is designed to keep the focus on the content and provide a clean reading experience on Android devices.


CONTENT & KNOWLEDGE CATEGORIES

The app covers different areas of news and information, including:

  • Top News
  • Automobile
  • Business & Finance
  • Entertainment
  • Fact Check & Awareness
  • FIFA 2026
  • Health
  • Jobs & Education
  • Jodhpur
  • Local
  • NG Special
  • Politics
  • Rajasthan
  • Science
  • Sports
  • Technology
  • World

The platform also covers national and global topics and their impact on everyday users.


ANDROID USER EXPERIENCE

The application provides a dedicated Android experience for accessing NetGram News content. The interface is structured around content discovery, article reading, categories, notifications, sharing, and Hindi-language content.

  • News & content feed
  • Article reading
  • Category navigation
  • Notifications
  • Article sharing

This makes the app suitable for users who regularly consume news from their phones.


NETGRAM NEWS WEB & MOBILE ECOSYSTEM

The Android application is part of the wider NetGram News ecosystem. The website and mobile application provide different access points to the same publication and content platform.

NetGram News Website → Web readers

NetGram News Android App → Mobile readers

This also makes it possible to keep the news platform available across both web and mobile.


MOBILE TECHNOLOGY STACK

The exact implementation stack is based on the actual mobile project.

For the portfolio, the technology section can be listed as:

  • Framework: React Native
  • Build Platform: Expo
  • Language: JavaScript / TypeScript
  • Notifications: Push Notifications
  • Android Build: Expo Application Services (EAS)
  • Distribution: Google Play Store

BACKEND & CONTENT INFRASTRUCTURE

  • Backend: Node.js
  • Database: PostgreSQL
  • API: REST API
  • Content Management: NetGram News Admin System

API & CONTENT INTEGRATION

The mobile application connects with the NetGram News content system through APIs. Published content is retrieved from the backend and presented through mobile-specific screens and components. This allows new content to be published centrally without requiring a new app release for every article.


PUSH NOTIFICATIONS

Notifications are an important part of a news application.

Push notifications allow the application to deliver important updates and published stories directly to users.

This provides an additional way for users to stay informed without opening the application manually.


MOBILE DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES

CONNECTING WEB & MOBILE CONTENT

One of the main challenges was keeping the mobile app connected to the same news ecosystem as the website.

The app needs to display current content while keeping the mobile interface separate from the website UI.

Using API-based communication makes this possible.

SUPPORTING DIFFERENT CONTENT FORMATS

The platform contains different kinds of content, including normal news articles, detailed reports, fact-checks and visual information.

The mobile interface needs to handle these different formats without making the reading experience complicated.

PUSH NOTIFICATIONS & ANDROID CONFIGURATION

Push notifications require additional Android permissions and configuration.

The notification setup therefore needs to be handled properly both inside the application and during the Android build process.


MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

The application was developed around the existing NetGram News platform rather than as a completely separate product.

The general workflow was:

  1. Plan the mobile app structure
  2. Design the main screens
  3. Connect the app with the news APIs
  4. Implement the news feed
  5. Add category-based content
  6. Build article reading screens
  7. Add Hindi and English content support
  8. Implement sharing
  9. Configure notifications
  10. Test the Android application
  11. Create the production build
  12. Publish the application on Google Play
