The Quint now has an app. Here’s why you need to download it.
1. Takes Very Little Space on Your Smartphone
The Quint is a light app for your Android smartphone. It takes up only 6.9MB of your smartphone’s storage space and is compatible with devices running Android KitKat and above.
2. Easy to Navigate User Interface
Most news apps aren’t very intuitive. The Quint app has an easy-to-navigate user interface that is clean and pop-up free.
The app does not ask you to tap on a random pop-up to continue reading the story or watching a video.
It always takes you directly to the story that you want to read. With swipe gestures, you can also switch between stories in a particular section or on the home page.
3. It Loads Even On 2G
You don’t need a TV to watch news all the time, The Quint App helps you get news on-the-go.
You can consume snack-sized news anywhere and everywhere irrespective of the network coverage. Even if you are in a low coverage area with 2G network, the app’s loading time is negligible.
The bite-sized news format is quick, snappy and informative.
4. It’s Made for Mobile
Unlike other news apps that rehash TV videos, The Quint produces in-house content that is mobile-optimised and no video is more that 3 minutes long. This helps you save on data while watching a video on your smartphone as you get all the information in a bite-sized format.
You can choose to not watch the video and read the story as well, and if you like it, then with a one-touch option, you can share the stories on popular social networking websites.
5. The Quint Does Not Discriminate
The Quint App has something for everyone. There are a wide variety of sections – India, Politics, World, Business, Technology, Sports, Entertainment, Opinion, Health and Fitness, Women, Deqoded, Photos, Videos – and for news junkies, there’s breaking news from India and around the world on Hot Wire.
From movie reviews to technology reviews, from animal videos to political animals The Quint has everything with its own twist.
Feel confused when you haven’t been following a news story from the start? The Quint ‘deqodes’ it all for you whether its the Vyapam Scam, Shia Sunni Divide, Land Bill or the infamous Beef Ban.
And if you want more than 9 PM news channel debates on a single news story, The Quint app gives you the QWrap – all the important stories of the day in less than two minutes.
