Technova app review: a brand-new app covering the latest technology news

Reviews

Introduction

It’s difficult to find a good news app that you will use every day. Depending on your interests, you might be able to find an app that covers what news you really want to cover, but sometimes these apps are just not updated frequently enough or are just really difficult to use. There is now some good news for all your technology and innovation lovers out there, as there is a new app that actually promises to be up-to-date with the latest tech news, and on top of that is also easy to use. The app is called Technova and is developed by Joe Sriver. The app is compatible with both iPhone and iPad.

App Design

The first thing that springs to mind when you play around in this app is that the design is simply really good. You won’t even have to think about how to use this app as it was designed to be intuitive. The different technology topics are simply listed in a grid, and when you tap on a category, the app will start populating that specific topic. This way you will only download the news that you will actually need, instead of downloading tons of content you will never read. In total there are 17 topics to pick from. These topics range from mobile to gaming and from startups and entrepreneurs to biotechnology and recent patents.

Different Options and Settings

There is one thing that don’t really like about the app, and that is the lack of customizability. Especially with a technology app, I would imagine that the developer would be interested in this himself. I would like to shape the app exactly as I want to, making my favorite topics show up on top instead of the topics that the app picked for me. There are the obvious sharing functions as well, but by far not all social media outlets are available here, and I would like to be able to share my favorite news via these channels. Finally, you can also set all kinds of notifications about your favorite news items, which is very handy if you usually have the app turned off.

Conclusion

I can really recommend Technova to any technology lover that only wants to see the news and nothing more. The different categories are very well-organized, and the app has a beautiful design, but there is no customization offered whatsoever. The sharing functions of the app are minimal, but you can set your notifications, which can be really handy. You will need to be online to be able to use the app. The app is compatible with both iPad and iPhone, and is just under 15 MB.
