Our Contest Judging Process

At Best Mobile App Awards, we take great pride in our rigorous and impartial judging process. Our panel of judges consists of experienced designers, developers, and publishers, each bringing a wealth of expertise and a unique perspective to the table.

Every submission undergoes a thorough evaluation to ensure only the most innovative, high-quality apps receive recognition. Our process is built on transparency, fairness, and a commitment to excellence.

Judging Criteria

Our judges evaluate apps based on a broad range of criteria to ensure a well-rounded assessment. While the exact parameters may vary by contest category, the following general criteria guide our decision-making:

  • User Votes
    • The total number of votes received via the "Vote" button on the app's nomination page.
    • To ensure fairness, only one vote per IP address is counted. Votes are considered but are certainly not the only deciding factor
  • Marketplace Metrics
    • The app's number of downloads and overall ratings on public app marketplaces.
  • Functionality
    • Seamless performance and reliability, free from defects or bugs.
  • Creativity
    • The originality of the app’s concept and its ability to address a specific problem effectively.
  • Productivity
    • How well the app serves its intended purpose and delivers value to its users.
  • Innovation
    • Apps that demonstrate originality and avoid being simple replicas of existing apps are ranked higher.
  • Design and Usability
    • Unique, intuitive, and aesthetically pleasing app design that enhances the user experience.
  • Category-Specific Factors
    • Depending on the contest, additional criteria may be emphasized. For example, apps submitted to a "Best Mobile Game" contest are judged on factors such as graphics, gameplay mechanics, and lag time.

Expert Judging Panel

Each judge specializes in specific aspects of mobile app design, development, or publishing, ensuring diverse insights and a balanced evaluation. For category-specific contests, such as mobile games or productivity apps, judges with expertise in that domain take the lead in assessing submissions.

Final assessments are based on a combination of the above factors, as well as other relevant considerations tailored to the contest category.

Commitment to Excellence

We strive to honor apps that set the standard for creativity, functionality, and innovation. By showcasing these standout applications, Best Mobile App Awards aims to inspire developers, engage users, and elevate the entire mobile app ecosystem.

Until the deadline, apps can be submitted here. Apps are welcome to be submitted anytime within the contest's open period. However, there is no advantage given to those apps submitted earlier than others.
