Swackett is the Perfect White Label News and Weather App for Local TV Stations

  • Looking for a custom News and Weather app for your local televsion or radio station?
  • Budget tight — but you still need to compete with major competitors in your local market?
  • Want to be able to update the content of your station’s app yourself (and not be dependent on a 3rd-party content manager)?

The Swackett White Label App Is for You

Swackett can build a customized news and weather app for your local station that will differentiate you from the competition — and give you a new platform to drive ad revenue.

Swackett Connect Image Portal

Swackett is known as a visual weather app — showing imagery based on current weather conditions. Swackett’s personal image portal (Swackett Connect) makes it easy for you to update the weather-related images that appear in your white label app.

This means you can show images of your news and weather personalities dressed in rain slickers during a thunderstorm — standing in a foot of slow during a blizzard — or in shorts and sunglasses during a heatwave — automatically.

Componentized Content Blocks

Swackett apps for mobile devices have a clean and snappy interface that is specifically designed to match the look and feel of the operating system. This means your white label app will look natural on the user’s device.

Each cell in the app’s interface is a component — a self-aware block of content that can update and refresh itself independently of the screen it’s appearing on. The content that fills this cell can come from anywhere — including text and imagery from your local station’s web site. You have total control over what content appears in each component and how often it updates.

Individual components can feature your advertisers’ goods and services — can show those goods and services based on current weather conditions — giving you an intelligent new platform to drive ad sales.

Custom App Name, Icon, Colors an Content

Your white label app should and will reflect your brand. From the name of the app, the color scheme and app icon — all are customized to your specification.

Your white label app will support push notifications that you can trigger whoever you wish.

We can manage your app’s distribution in App Stores worldwide — or deliver builds to you for deployment via your own developer accounts.
