ANNAHAR MOBILE APP

For a more profound and structured presence of the Kuwaiti Newspaper "Annahar" on the mobile landscape, IDS designed and developed a mobile application for Annahar as to leverage their scope of work, hence providing them with more exposure and establishing them as one of the most cutting-edge sources of news in the region.

 

The application was developed to allow readers to browse the newspaper’s content from multiple devices through an intuitive and interactive interface.

 

The application was developed in a way to be fully integrated with Annahar’s website, and to generate news feeds on a daily basis. However, for enhanced control of the content displayed to the users, IDS created a web-based back-end management system which will enable the employees at Annahar to modify and control other aspects of the application such as advertisement, multimedia, push notifications and other settings. The back end automatically synchronizes with the application.

 

Some of the application features can be summarized as shown below:

 

• Archive. The application saves up older stories and issues surfed by the user for up to a certain number of days to enable the user to browse through older issues in the applications.
• Simple & Efficient Navigation to view pictures and articles quickly.
• Photo View to browse pictures and jump to related articles.
• Customization Options. Application users will be able to select their favorite sections with a one-touch access.
• Push Notifications. The application provides the ability to interact with online users by sending them Push Notifications using modal objects on top of the screen.
