The app aims to simulate reading your local newspaper. Fwix’s app allows you to view news stories in a map format, showing you the exact geographic location of news. You can access news by your location and then filter stories by subject (i.e. sports, arts, politics, crime). And you can share all content on Facebook, Twitter or via email. While the app itself could be useful for finding local news, Fwix’s realtime API is being actively used to incorporate hyperlocal news streams into content.
