Dailyhunt, a news and local language content application announced the launch of Newzly, a news-in-brief app for Android users.
The app offers a summary of trending news articles across multiple genres such as regional, international, entertainment, business, sports and technology, with content in nine languages - English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali and Gujarati.
Newzly presents a summary of stories in a simple minimalistic design, in the form of cards that can be swiped horizontally to seamlessly sift through subsequent news. The app allows users to read the full article by simply swiping vertically.
With Newzly, consumers can also customise their feed basis topics of interest. Users can bookmark cards and share stories on social media including Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
"Newzly app is designed to serve the needs of users who have less time on hand and wants to stay updated with the summary of major breaking & trending news. This app is currently available in 9 languages and we are likely to expand it into more languages in the coming months," said Virendra Gupta, founder and CEO, Dailyhunt.
In November last year, the company launched Dailyhunt Lite, its progressive web app (PWA), and also partnered with Vuclip and YuppTV to offer original videos and Live TV on its platform.
