GM News is an all-in-one app that wakes you up in the morning, and has your personally selected news sources ready to inform when you slip on your slippers and pour your coffee. Our user-targeted alarm clock will get you up and ready in the morning. Studies show that reading in the morning is beneficial since your mind is most susceptible to information. Also, most people tend to read longer articles early in the morning as opposed to other times throughout the day.
- Category: Entertainment, News, Utilities, and Producivity
- Mobile: Pretty mobile, easy to use anywhere
- Story: This product has great value for people who want to kickstart their morning, by having important information available to them in one place.
- Market: The market is college students and more professional people. It's mostly for anyone who is looking to be more productive in the morning.
- Habit: Every day in the morning.
- Scope: Technically speaking, the logic running the app is not too intense. However, making it look attractive will be where our troubles will arise. A stripped down version, with only a news stream, would still be interesting. The vision we have for the product is crystal clear, and we are excited to bring it to market.
