This is my redesign for the Android SmartNews app. The SmartNews app is an award-winning app (Best App of the Year Award for 2013 from both Google and Apple), so a holistic and complete overhaul of the app was not needed. Instead, I chose to focus my redesign efforts on converting the current SmartNews app to a version that supports Google's Material design guidelines. The screenshots below showcase my efforts.
