Flash Up

We have created a UI/UX design for a news channel app that allows you to stay in the know about all the latest events or content updates on your iPad, iPhone, or Android device.

Start Point

All the latest news and updates – in one app

There is a broadcast block in the top of the user's feed and a posts tape below it. Some of the posts and broadcasts have little flash icons in the upper-left corner.

It indicates highlighted items and means that a source of the post has been verified by Flash Up editorial team. High-priority posts are usually displayed at the top of the feed.

Navigation

Intuitive navigation Simply swipe

The navigation is built based on swipe and tap motions. Once you click the post you’re interested in, you will get to the channel flow. This is where you can use tap navigation to see selected channel posts, or, alternatively, use swipe navigation to switch to other channels.

Tap on interesting news

You can navigate directly to the selected channel by tapping or scroll over other topic-related posts beyond your feed by swiping up. You can switch channels by swiping from right to left.

There are different styles of posts. It can be a very simple post with a title and text on its background, a video (with AI auto-generated subtitles), or even a quiz. Here you can also see simple QA games that are displayed according to your preferences.
