Flock launches Budget Beat App to update users on live Union budget news

MUMBAI: With Union Budget 2017 just around the corner, Flock, the Team Messenger app, has launched a Budget Beat app to provide curated news and views on the budget, within Flock. The Budget Beat app shares all important tweets and updates, such as those by the finance minister, the PMO and all major national publications. The app also features a Sensex ticker, which provides instant updates on the stock market, including the NSE and the BSE.

Flock’s users can download the Budget Beat app from the Flock App Store. Once integrated, the app showcases the newsfeed in the side panel in Flock. Users can easily track the budget and its monetary implications in real time, without having to switch tabs or rely on second-hand updates.

“We understand that our users want to stay abreast of the latest updates on the budget. As the budget directly affects every aspect of their lives, including their savings and investments. Keeping this in mind, we’ve designed Budget Beat to provide all valuable information on a platform they use frequently to communicate at work,” says Ninad Raval, Director of Product and Design at Flock.

Raval indicated that the Budget Beat app is in line with Flock’s endeavor to build and integrate apps and features that help users communicate, as well as access important information and updates on a unified platform.
