Powering personal news on smartphones
Semantic Technology: TagNav©
The proprietary TagNav© semantic technology enables to create personalized streams of news tailored to the preferences of the individual reader. For that, each news item is run through a topic detector that can recognize the critical elements of a news article. The most important words are highlighted, thus allowing you to bring up all the relevant information relative to a given subject. The news is then re-aggregated by personal topics rather than by general sources.
Bringing the best User Interface on Smartphones and Tablets
Mobiles Republic is focussed on delivering the best possible user
experience for Smartphones and Tablets, across all platforms.

it has managed to be the best-rated news app by users on both
iPhone and Android with an average over 4.5/5 stars for
its main app, News Republic.
The company was also granted a Sony Ericsson Content Award

Integrating and formatting Breaking News on the fly
With 10’000 news coming every day from hundreds of sources in over
6 languages, Mobiles Republic’s technology platform must be able
to process a large amount of information under many different
formats in a very short amount of time. All items must go through
a process of text cleansing and deduplication to ensure quality
of the content delivered. The content integration unit also involves
multimedia processing with pictures attached to articles,
as well as modern format of news like video and podcasts.
In order to support its worldwide users base, Mobiles Republic’s is
based on Windows Azure, Microsoft’s cloud-based solution.
This scalable, fast response time architecture enables us to bring
you the NR service with the highest performance regardless
of where you enjoy NewsRep from.
