"Being selected out of more than 100 000 BlackBerry 10 apps worldwide is quite a milestone'', says PriceCheck GM, Andre de Wet, ''and as South Africans we can be pretty chuffed about it. It shows what is being done locally on mobile is world-class and what PriceCheck is doing for mobile shopping is the right way to go."
BlackBerry users around the world have selected PriceCheck's BlackBerry app as one of the apps that demonstrate the most innovative use of the BlackBerry technology in this year's BlackBerry Achievement Awards.
While the price comparison service has invested a lot of effort and time into developing apps on all platforms including BlackBerry, Nokia, iOS and Android, being shortlisted as one of the three finalists for the BlackBerry App of the year is no small feat.
The PriceCheck BlackBerry 10 app was short listed alongside the Hoyts Cinema app and the Cooklet app for the BlackBerry App of the Year award. So if you think a South African App deserves to win the award, why not vote here now. The deadline for voting is Monday, 15 April at 5:00 PM ET (10:00 PM GMT +1). This year's winners will be announced at BlackBerry Live between May 14-16.
