App summary

Connect, Inform & Engage with your City.

We live in a Globally Connected yet locally disconnected reality. We know about water in Mars but we do not know about water supply in our area today. We know what a friend in the US would be sharing now, but we don’t know if our road has been blocked. We believe what happens around you impacts your daily life more and we want you to have this information in realtime.

This is the sort of Urban Intelligence that we lack and that is what SimpliCity aims to connect you with.

Welcome to the world’s first Urban Intelligence Platform – SimpliCity.

SimpliCity is a new age tech-media platform that endeavours to connect, inform and engage the citizens of a city with valuable real-time information that enriches their lives. Everything that a citizen requires to make his daily urban life easier has been meticulously curated and served through a world-class user interface. SimpliCity is equipped with a top-class media and reporting team that works with the sole idea of informing and engaging the people of the city with information that is both enriching and important.

We provide extremely potent, enriching & entertaining content and information in Local News, Local Events, Local Sports, Government Notifications, Jobs, Radio, Independent Music and Movies.

Everybody can report news directly from SimpliCity, which has been designed from the ground up to enable people of a City to report and share news, events and happenings in real-time.

SimpliCity is the world’s first Urban Intelligence Platform and we are extremely proud to launch it first in Coimbatore. Coimbatore has been the epicenter of many startups and ideas for over a hundred years and we are glad to launch this unique platform to the proud people of Coimbatore.

Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Cochin will follow shortly...

Once used to be good but of late, content doesn't load properly and lagging.

Extremely useful. Better news updates than most of the other apps out there. Pitch black UI in dark mode could be altered to have even more smooth experience.
