Mozilla Partners With Aga Khan University to Launch Intuitive App for a Smoother User Experience

A user-friendly and interactive App called Pocket has been unveiled by Mozilla in collaboration with the Aga Khan University with the goal of enhancing online user experience.

The program, which was created for iOS and Android, enables users to browse their preferred written and visual content and even save it for later offline surfing.

During the launch, Pocket Vice President & General Manager Mozilla, Matt Koidin, stated that their goal is to make the Internet a freely available resource for everyone on a worldwide scale.

Ads and formatting are removed from articles before saving them in Pocket, which reduces the amount of memory that must be stored. Users can also manage how much memory Pocket is allowed to use.

Additionally, in order to accommodate the demands of budget-conscious consumers with constrained bandwidth, downloads are only available through Wi-Fi.

In order to better tailor the service to the requirements of Kenyan online users, the partnership with Aga Khan University will make sure that local material is curated and distributed.

“We support a human-centered Internet where users can control their own experiences and feel powerful, secure, and autonomous. We are enabling people to find, arrange, consume, and share content through Pocket that matters to them. The capability for users to “read it later” by saving articles will be revolutionary. We are certain that we can maintain improving the app for Kenyans with the help of our Kenyan partners, added Matt.

According to the Communications Authority’s most recent sector report, Kenya has a total of 46.5 million and 30.2 million data/internet and broadband subscriptions, respectively. This expansion is due to network improvements, the availability of less expensive cellphones, and data plans. This makes Pocket a timely achievement as it expands its relevance and subscriber base among regular Kenyans.

“In collaboration with Mozilla, The Aga Khan University’s Media Innovation Center has identified and is collaborating with a group of curators who have assembled remarkable and unique content from East Africa. According to Dr. Njoki Chege, Director of the Media Innovation Center, “For the first time, we have a series of collections from top Kenyan curators who contribute new insights from Kenya and East Africa.
