Back in June, BlackBerry announced the Developer Hero Program, which was designed to showcase new BlackBerry 10 apps by featuring them on BlackBerry World and promoting them on social media. Now, BlackBerry has announced the winners via the Inside BlackBerry Developer blog.
After months of testing, weeks of review and hours of debate we have finally selected the top new BlackBerry 10 applications. It was difficult to choose only three, so we decided to select the top four new BlackBerry 10 applications. Congratulations to the following developer applications (in no particular order), the winners of the Developer Hero Program!
- Demon Warrior (by Five Fingers)
- Headless ScreenCorder (by Burning Platform)
- App Manager (by Rad Systems)
- Monkey Adventure (by BigStudio)
Congrats indeed. Each winner will receive 6 months of featuring on BlackBerry World, a blog and social media posts promoting the application, 2-weeks of featuring on BlackBerry.com. Be sure to check out all the winners in BlackBerry World!
