Free hyperlocal content app for non-English speaking Indians

Lokal App is a reference application developed for non-English speaking Indian users. This free app provides you with a variety of hyperlocal content, such as daily updates and news, from various regions of India. Not only that, but it also gives you a platform to apply for local jobs online.

With Lokal App, you can get the local updates in your regional language, including Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, Gujarati, and Bengali. Moreover, you can customize your alerts to receive notifications based on your district, city, and state. However, customizing the app to your native tongue can be difficult. 

What is Lokal App?

Most of the existing news applications are developed for English-speaking audiences. It limits the scope of local news. However, programs like Lokal App are here trying to solve the problem. This is a digital content hub where you can access news and updates from various regions in the country. Here, you can receive daily updates on various topics that matter, including politics, entertainment, crimes, technology, and agriculture.

More than news, the app is also a hub for job seekers. It has a job search function, where you can access daily local job updates, side jobs, jobs for women, and earn-from-home jobs. You can also get employment updates. If you are an employer, you can also bring your job posting to the app. And if you are looking for your match, you can use the matrimony services.

The app also lets you get home services, such as plumbers, electricians, cleaners, and a variety of essential services. However, to get these, you have to sign up and upload your profile. However, as mentioned, the usability of the app is quite problematic. For one, it automatically chooses a mother tongue, and changing it can be difficult. Additionally, the app is prone to lagging and slowing down your device.

Should you use it?

Overall, Lokal App is an app that you can use if you wish to be in the know about the latest news in India. Even better, you can get them in your mother tongue. Moreover, you can also access nifty services, including home services, job search, and even matrimony services. However, accessing these services can be a hassle as the app is prone to lagging.
