design100 and [app] Design Awards Founder Mark Bergin said “the acceleration in the apps market continues unabated. In the past arms races have been about strength, domination and control.
The digital economy is more about nuance; users will drop an app at lightning speed if it’s not on trend, not in the behavioural pattern of a fast changing world. Again we’ve seen long hall app brands innovate, come up with something astounding and take the challenge up to the new disrupters.
Apps are accelerating from smart phones to include machine to machine, web apps and ever more so connected devices. The pace of the market is astounding and speeding up – congratulations to the market leaders.”
