AfterDawn's HIGH.FI news app hits first milestone
AfterDawn launched its first mobile app last year and today we'd like to thank users who have installed it, regularly use it and have provided excellent feedback.
While based in Northern Finland, AfterDawn has staff in a handful of countries and on multiple continents. We all speak English but most of the staff speaks multiple languages, and of course our services are provided in different languages too. One thing we all have in common though is a bit of an addiction to news content, primarily technology-related news, and every day links bounce back and forth across staff, many of which have been collected and added to "read later" lists that always grow longer and never shorten.
It seems natural then that the first time we decided to throw an app into the wild, it was a news app. HIGH.FI automatically pulls news headlines from hundreds of sources on all topics and allows you to very easily customize the type of news you want to see.
Thank you for 10,000 installs on Android!
It was first made available to Windows Phone 8 users in June 2014, and later became available for Android on September 9. Today, we realized that it has been installed more than 10,000 times on Android devices and there's more every hour, while it has previously hit 7,500 on Windows Phone 8. Read more...
