A Multilingual App to stay updated for News and Information

With Connexun Geolocation App you get community oriented news and information, connecting people living away from their home country. Connexun also serves content for people who are interested in information about other countries, or would like to stay in touch with their home country while travelling the world.

Connexun News APIs are powered by our AI B.I.R.B.AL. (Brilliant Information Research BigData ALgorithm) which classifies and categorizes the best content from more than 240 countries in over 36 languages, and delivers to your dashboard autonomously.

If local language is a barrier for you to stay updated, explore Connexun and see the content in language you prefer.

Tired of seeing same breaking news notifications from everywhere, Connexun optimizes the notifications to only ping you about the content that our AI thinks is most relevant for you and community.

With Connexun you get-
**InterCountry News- content that talks about two countries you are interested in
**Useful News- Not living in your country of origin, then get integrated with Local News, updated with latest publications by your local Embassy or airports.
**Clustered News- Want to see same news in your preferred language or from some other source, expand the cluster and see who else talking about the same topics
**International News: What almost every newspaper in the world is talking about
**Top Country News: How your countries are trending in the world news
**Dynamical Summary/Description: Read sentences that are most relevant to you without opening the news
**Weather/ Currency Updates: Get your local and interest weather updates and currency exchange
**Reports- Roaming in Italy, get report on local commune and discover how multicultural your surroundings are.


With Connexun you can:
***Share News and Articles: Did you discover some content you think people with similar interests would find useful? Share with us and our AI will make sure it reaches the desired audience
***Get notified near local points while roaming
***Share to the world (using facebook, twitter or any other social media) what you discover through Connexun, it could be latest Visa updates, or local events connected to your home country, or some news you find interesting.


A note on Contacts:
We are using your contacts to suggest you the countries you might be interested in. This data is used only once and is kept on your phone. Granting this permission only enhances your Connexun experience.

Note on Background location:
Connexun uses your location data anonymously to identify point of interests around you and provide you with the information relevant at that moment.
For example a person traveling to a new country will be served with a welcome message along with other critical information such as emergency numbers and addresses corresponding to place they are in. Similarly, if visiting some point of interest, the user can receive promotions or news information about that point as a notification. This way the user does not have to interact with the app constantly while still receiving relevant content.
The background data makes sure that whatever is served to the user is relevent for them at that moment.

Note on Battery Life- Connexun is a geolocation service, pushing Places Around and People Around . Therefore "Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life."
