The 2018 Best Mobile App Awards
The Best Mobile App Awards began in 2012 as there was a need for a central authority to select which were the best mobile apps and app developers out there. The idea was for people to be able to find the latest and best apps all in one place without browsing through countless apps in the stores; as soon as the site was online it received a large number of visits and it has now become a success. It is run by a group of expert designers and developers, who are leaders of the industry, and serves to highlight and promote those apps that really deserve it, giving every app a chance to get their turn in the spotlight. So, let’s take a look to the winners of the 2018 Best Mobile App Awards.
Here are some of 2018 Best Mobile App Awards winners so far:
OnReal (Android, iOS and web app)
