Reward-Driven Android News App

Job ID: 40397993

Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR

I need a full-featured Android news application that rewards users for the time they spend inside the app. News will be served from a custom backend I control, split into Politics, Sports, Entertainment, and a dedicated Local Haryana section.

Every article read or video watched should credit points to the user, and a simple daily check-in adds a small bonus. A referral link must generate extra points for both inviter and invitee. All earnings accumulate in a built-in wallet where users can track balances and request withdrawals through UPI or Paytm.

Account creation and log-in will be handled exclusively by mobile number with OTP verification. Once inside, users receive three kinds of push notifications: breaking news, a concise daily summary, and updates whenever points are added or a payout is processed.

An admin web panel is essential so I can publish or edit stories, upload videos, manage user accounts, view analytics, and approve payout requests. Google AdMob banners, interstitials, and rewarded ads must coexist with a reserved slot for my own jewellery brand creatives that I can swap from the panel.

Sharing buttons for WhatsApp and Instagram should appear on every story card, and deep links should bring new users straight to the article that was shared.

Deliverables
• Production-ready Android app (Kotlin or Flutter) with source code
• Custom backend & database, API documentation, and admin dashboard
• Push notification setup (FCM) for the three notification types
• Complete reward logic, referral tracking, and wallet with UPI/Paytm integration
• AdMob and in-house ad placement, tested and live
• Submission-ready build plus one month of post-launch bug support

Acceptance criteria: smooth OTP flow, points awarded correctly on every eligible action, payout request moves to admin queue, and notification latency under one minute on breaking news.
