Components
NewsCatchr is an app, that tries to improve the world by enabling access to news for everyone. The app is available for Android 4.2+ and very small and resource-friendly. It's also completely open sourced, so the code can be checked by everyone.
Proposal
In this proposal the ideas that i am presenting consists of five important features that can be added to options icon in the app.
I will show you how the front window of the app looks like and then explain these features briefly.
The features to be added are.
- Hot The feature for the Hot and trending news, which has maximum views and is talked about everywhere.
- New The collection of news related to different sectors which is time based, fresh incidents are provided.
- Rising The news feature in which the news which is rising up and being watched by many people has to be listed here.
- Controversial A feed full of controversies is acquired here therefore the need for this feature is there.
- Top The feature for top news that has been in mentions, top news hourly, top news of the day, top of the week, top of the month. This feature works like that and is important.
Mockups / Examples
In this section i will show you how the chanes are made and how the features are added for that i am uploading an image so that you can understand it .

The features are added above to the option Button, and all features are just a click away.
Benefits
The benefits of these features are the sorting of the news feed according to the desire, we can search for the Hot and trending news only, Or the new things that have happened in the world related to any sector, we can find what things are making up for a discussion and are rising in the news feed especially in the business sector, we can check controversial feed if we want to, sometimes it's interesting to read about it and finally the top news every hour, day, week, month, year. All these features can be great addition.
Hoping for them to be added soon.
Thankyou
