First school newspaper in the App Store
Tize.ch is the online magazine where young people write for their generation. With the launch of its own app, Tize is now the first student newspaper in the Swiss App Store.
In Switzerland, there are some media that want to appeal to teenagers. But often adults are behind them. This is different at Tize. The more than 25 teenagers and young adults at Tize always know what their generation is currently interested in. "We are a very young team and voluntarily produce articles for our peers every day," explains 16-year-old founder Nils Feigenwinter.
In August 2015, Tize.ch went online as a classic website. Since December 8, the youth magazine has also been available as a free app in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. "We have created a completely new Tize, which differs in many ways from our website," continues Feigenwinter, who currently attends high school in Liestal BL. Among the innovative features is the ability to display items only in certain locations. If you have activated location services, you will see exciting stories matching your current location.
The application was completely designed by young people. It was then developed by an experienced developer who wanted to support the youth project. The app had been a big dream for a long time, as Feigenwinter explains: "It makes me and the whole Tize team incredibly proud and happy that we could finally make this dream come true.
