Addition of Save as Pdf, History and Account fewtures in NewsCatchr

Components

NewsCatchr is an open source application that can be used on android devices and tablets, it is free for use and download at google playstore. It is an application that updates the users of any news on different category at one-click.

Proposal

NewsCatchr is an application that possesses a lot of interesting features that makes it an outstanding application for anybody to use. The two features I feel should be added for the improvement of the application is:

• Account features
• Save as PDF
• History

Account feature: this is feature that allows users to log in/ sign in to their different account. A database is produced for the users where their data aare saved. Data like their favorite channels, frequent RSS feeds,
Save as PDF this is a feature that allows a user to save a particular news as PDF files and this helps we people that does a lot of research in case one wants to work on that particular page later.
History: Also there should be a page for the recently viewed news or bookmarks in order for record and future purposes.

Examples/ Mock ups

Benefits

Account features this will help to login to the site or application. And also a password should be provided in order to provide security to the user’s account. The account provides a kind of privacy to the users in which the types of news and their favorites bookmarks are not explicit
Sava as PDF this provides a way for researchers to use the file gotten from the application later. As we all know that during research works one will need frequent visit to a particular site or file regularly therefore to prevent stress of going on and forth to the app, Save as PDF would be a better choice.
History: Also the history page makes it easier for a user to go back to a viewed news instead of going through the stress of running through news in went to again.
