Echo News

With the Echo News app you receive the latest news from your desired region, Germany and the world directly on your smartphone. This means you always know what is happening in your home country and the world - whether in business, politics or sport.

Echo News contains news from:

+ Darmstadt Echo

+ Groß-Gerauer Echo

+ Odenwald Echo

+ Starkenburg Echo

+ Main tip

+ Bürstädter Zeitung

+ Lampertheimer Zeitung

Functional scope and content:

+ More regionality: The latest news from your desired region - now with even more selection in the “Local” section.

+ Multiple selection: In the departments with a drop-down menu you can select several contents in parallel, e.g. reports from Mainz 05 and SV Darmstadt 98.

+ Practical navigation that enables quick and easy navigation to relevant pages in the app (e.g. the home page, watch list or other content elements such as podcasts, videos or thematic focus).

+ Font size function: The font size can be adjusted at any time both within the article (via the icon at the top right) and via the “Change font size” menu settings.

+ Push messages: Always stay up to date and subscribe to your favorite topics as a push channel. After the update, please check the settings for the push topic areas (top right in the menu > Settings > Push notifications). Behind the bell is an inbox that collects all new push messages for you.

+ Watch list: Save articles for later and then read them when you have time and peace.

+ News widget: Load the news widget onto the home screen of your smartphone. This way you stay informed without having to open the app and can jump directly to articles you want to find out more about.

+ National news from the areas of sports, my top club, politics, business and culture.

Easy to use:

+ When you start the app for the first time, select your desired region. The content of the app adapts automatically.

+ In the second step you will be asked for your desired push channels. You will later receive messages directly to your device for the categories you have selected.

+ You can change the region and the push channels at any time using the Settings menu item.
