My design with Material Design applied Hamburger Menu
The current app uses a bottom line menu navigation system that takes up screen real estate. This design uses a more modern “hamburger menu” to give users more options, quickly.

Readability should be the focus of any news app. Emphasis was given to typography, font size, line spacing, and tracking/kerning to make the text as easy-to-read as possible.
