For publishers, agencies and enterprises

Turn your readers into a community

Websites, Newsletters and Podcasts are great to gather users around your brand. But if you want to establish a long lasting relationship to your closest and most important users, native apps are the go to solution.

tchop™ is the first turnkey solution that empowers publishers and creators to extend their portfolio with their own apps in record time. Our platform lets you create a community around your content, that combines quality content, editorial control with social media features like comments, likes and a chat.

Drive loyalty and growth with a mobile platform in your own look & feel, where you control content, distribution, rights and roles.

tchop™ lets you create a space on the smartphone of your target group where they can find relevant content, latest news and a way to directly connect with your team or others within the community. We provide you with a technical full service, so that you can focus on content and communication.

You benefit from app specific features like push notifications and a real time chat to engage with users in real time. We offer rich editorial and social media functionality out of the box, enabling you to launch a news driven app within days - with all of the features your subscribers, members or followers have come to expect:

You can set up a channel for
  • img
    Manage your content from a simple user and mobile friendly CMS
  • img
    Integrate existing content and news feeds with a few clicks
  • img
    Mutlichannel system to separate free and paid content
  • img
    Engage users with rich media, discussion threads or surveys

Integrate existing feeds and sources

As our platform is built around the idea of curation, tchop seamlessly integrates with existing systems. Your team can continue working with the existing tools without evening touching the tchop CMS in their daily routine. Or editors can use the tchop CMS to easily curate content on top or add app specific features like push notifications.

tchop™ can automatically parse content feeds on basis of a variety of standard integrations:
  • RSS feeds
  • Scraping of new links from a website (including your own)
  • Social Media content from twitter, facebook or instagram
  • Newsletters
  • Podcasts
  • Youtube videos

Each channel is independent in terms of content structure and has its own editorial dashboard. That means each sales team or department can easily curate, edit and distribute content for even small regional teams. In its own language. And with its own relevant sales drivers.

Editorial meets Social Media

tchop™ provides additional feateres, that turn your news app into a mobile community that enables meaningful conversations with or within your community of readers and subscribers. You can combine the power of a social network with the unique content and context of an editorial product in a flexible, dynamic way. The good thing: the editorial team always controls how far those social features go.

    Public and private chat groups
  • img
    Confidential 1:1 chats

    User generated community content

    Mobile journalists

Your tchop™ app makes it easy to contribute, discuss or comment content, while you always control how this works through a smart roles and permission schemes. Editors can get in touch with readers on the same platform and strengthen the long term user retention. With every chat message or like on a comment users get a push notification from your app - like on WhatsApp! A truly personalised news experience that strengthens your brand!

Flexibility at its core

Our platform's functionality has been built in line with industry best practice and design guidelines. However, it is possible to extend or replace every screen to produce something more bespoke. Here are some examples of custom requirements that we have already implemented and which are easy to use for you:

  • img
    Innovative UX concepts (like 'tinder-style' swipeable content cards)
  • img
    Custom fonts and styles
  • img
    Native Ads via Google SDKs (Admob or DFP) or other ad providers
  • img
    Connect to a custom SSO (to manage user access)
  • img
    Third Party Push SDKs (like OneSignal)

You can implement these custom features on your own on the basis of our code. Or we can handle that for you in separate branches, where you enjoy full freedom. In any case you will benefit from future improvement and technical developments of our core platform.
