  • The Appy Awards, presented on 11 April 2011, marked successful and popular applications (generally known as "apps") for mobile devices. Sponsored by The Carphone Warehouse, Europe's largest independent mobile phone retailer, awards were presented in ten categories in a ceremony hosted by television presenters Richard Hammond and Amanda Byram. According to the sponsors, it was "the UK's first major app awards ceremony designed to recognise innovation and development in app technology." The company hoped to make it an annual event. Carphone Warehouse staff nominated around 1,000 apps from which a panel of judges produced a shortlist of 50, announced by Hammond in February 2011. In an online process, about 30,000 votes were cast by the public to choose the winners. Most of the shortlisted apps are free to download but others require a one-off or an ongoing payment. Finland-based Rovio Mobile's 2009 game Angry Birds, which recently passed the 100-million download mark, won the award for Best App of the Year along with a win in the Best Game App category and a nomination in the Best Time Waster App category. Lima Sky's Doodle Jump, which topped 10 million downloads in March 2011, was nominated in both the Best Game App and Best Time Waster App categories but failed to win either. Similarly ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner and Football Manager Handheld 2011 were nominated in two categories, both failing to win an award. As of 2016, no further Appy Awards have been made other than those in the inaugural ceremony. (en)
  • 2011年4月11日颁发的应用奖(英語:Appy Awards)旨在认可人气高涨的移动设备应用程序。经欧洲头号独立移动电话零售商赞助,电视节目主持人理查德·哈蒙德与主持的典礼共颁发十项大奖。赞助商声称这是“英国首次旨在奖励应用技术创新与发展的大型应用颁奖典礼”,希望今后办成一年一度的颁奖活动。 Carphone仓库工作工作人员提名约一千种应用,哈蒙德2011年2月公布评审团选出的50种入围项目。接下来约三万民众通过互联网投票选出最终得主,大部分入围应用可免费下载,也有些需付费一次或持续付费。芬兰Rovio移动2009年的游戏《愤怒的小鸟》此时下载量刚刚破亿,拿下最佳游戏应用和年度最佳应用奖,同时入围最佳费时应用。Lima Sky的《涂鸦跳跃》2011年3月达到千万下载量,入围最佳游戏应用和最佳费时应用但均未胜出。《ShopSavvy条形码扫描仪》和《》情况类似,各入围两项但均未胜出。 (zh)
