Voted on by over 98,000 people and in front of more than 250 executives who attended the event’s awards banquet, Appsbar took home top honors in the “New Tech Company of the Year” and “People’s Choice” categories.
The American Business Awards honors an all-inclusive spectrum of American business people and organizations - from non-profits, emerging start-ups, major public companies and government agencies, to corner-office executives, product developers, marketers and web development teams. Since 2002 the gold Stevie Award has been conferred for achievement in business to organizations and individuals in more than 60 nations around the world.
“The Stevie trophy is one of the world's most coveted prizes,” said Scott Hirsch, founder, Appsbar. “Winning one gold award is saying something, but two? For us, this fully confirms we’ve built the best platform for making the apps that make our lives easier. We are elated!”
Appsbar, which has grown to a community of over 170,000 app builders since its launch in April 2011, was designed to fill the gap between over-simplified apps and costly, professionally-produced apps, and presents a myriad of personalization opportunities with a unique interface that guides creators through the entire process – from creation, to editing, to publication - with visual and textual clues at each step. As creators build apps page by page, each app becomes more personalized through limitless combinations of background colors and fonts and the ability to upload images and videos from personal libraries.
