About the project
DeveloperLook designed and built NewsPulse, a mobile news app that brings global news, short video clips, and podcasts into one personal feed. Readers shape it by following topics and channels.
NewsPulse is a mobile news app for people who want global news, videos, and podcasts in one place. It gathers stories from top news channels, trending short news clips, and recommended podcasts. The format is quick to scan and suits casual readers. Our work covered app design and development, plus the brand.
The app runs on 5 tabs: Home, Community, Discover, an AI tab, and Profile. Home greets the reader by name and offers shortcuts to politics, sport, tech, and business, followed by a Recommended Podcast row. Discover opens with a search bar that takes voice input and All, Video, and Podcast filters. Below sit a Top Channel row, Short News clips, and a Following section with stories from followed topics.
Topic and channel pages let readers follow what they care about, and a Weather page pairs the forecast with weather stories. Video pages carry like, share, save, and report actions, a comment thread, and recommendations. In Community, readers join news channels and chat in threads. Profiles list a reader's articles, followers, and drafts.
New accounts finish with a short setup screen for a date and gender, then a confirmation screen with a Get Started button. We also designed the NewsPulse brand: a globe logo, a blue palette, an app icon, and an icon set. A billboard carries the line Stay ahead of the headlines with NewsPulse.
Challenge and solution
The challenge
The app had to deliver real-time updates without burying people in information. It also had to stay clean and easy to use while it brought articles, short videos, and podcasts into one place.
Our solution
Format tabs let readers switch between them without leaving the screen, and follow buttons shape each feed around chosen topics and channels. Every story card names its source channel, so readers can judge credibility before they tap.
What we built
Discover combines a Top Channel row, swipeable Short News clips, and a Following section with stories from the topics a reader follows. All, Video, and Podcast filters sit under the search bar.
Short news plays as vertical clip cards with the source and view count. The Video tab adds recent and live videos, and each video page has like, share, save, report, and comments.
The Podcast tab shows a For You row of shows and a Continue Listening list. Each show page has its cover, a short description, and every episode with a play button and its length.
An All Topics page covers sport, entertainment, business, politics, technology, travel, games, and fashion. An All Channel list sits beside it, and both use Follow and Following buttons to shape the feed.
Search accepts typed or spoken queries and splits results into News, Video, Short, and Podcast tabs. Each result shows its category, headline, publish time, and read time next to a thumbnail.
The Community tab has For You, Chat, and Channel views. Readers join news channels and talk in threads, and each message supports replies and forwarding, with an emoji bar and a comment box.
A profile shows counts for articles, followers, and following, an Account Settings button, and the reader's posted stories. A Draft screen keeps unfinished videos and shorts, and a pen button starts a new post.
The brand pairs a globe logo with a blue palette. It runs through the app icon, a set of line icons, signage, and a billboard that tells people to stay ahead of the headlines.
