Catchup - Nigerian news powered by AI

Do you jump from one website to another for news from Nigeria?

Do you like apps like Flipboard, News Republic, etc but mad that you can’t get Nigerian content on those?

What if you could choose what Nigerian news you read, which news site or blog?

What if you could choose what interests you and get your news based on those interests?

Chill….

Catchup tries to solve these problems using AI to generate your news feed based on specific news sources or interests you choose.

Try out the Android app for free on Google Play.

your feedback, questions, suggestions and criticisms are definitely welcome :slight_smile:
