March 7, 2016 Rishi Singh - Founder Comments 0 Comment

It’s no question the word “App” has become ubiquitous and for good reason. For users it’s allowed us to install entire applications within a click. Just 10 years ago, we had to run into a store like Best Buy, look for an oversized software box, and load the game or software over 4 CDs. For developers, it’s meant we can take our product and unleash into a massive pipeline where people are already on their phone constantly. The problem is we’ve…
