Earlier today, travelers strolling by Grand Central’s Vanderbilt Hall overheard something historic: the announcement of the winners of MTA App Quest, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s competition for software developers. The MTA challenged developers to create new apps that improve the transit experience of its 8.5 million daily riders. Forty-two apps were submitted, for a range of platforms and devices: Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, and more.

Join us in congratulating the winners!

Grand Prize: Embark NYC, by Taylor Malloy and David Hodge of Embark
This all-purpose transit navigation app for Android and iOS devices offers trip planning, service advisories, interactive maps, schedules and more.
Second Prize: Free NYC Subway Locator, by Jordan Hill of Flatiron Factory
This iOS app automatically calculates the nearest subway entrances to your current location and lists them by direction, in order of proximity by feet. The app also shows the individual station entrance locations, service alerts, and elevator and escalator outages, all using data provided by the MTA.
Third Prize: Notify Me NYC, by Emma Assin and Felipe Flores of the Cortelyou Collective
This Android app notifies you if your subway, Metro-North or LIRR train is experiencing service problems, based on the times of day and days of week you ride.
Popular Choice Grand Prize: CityMaps, by Christopher Winfield
This app combines real-time information about local businesses with subway information about how to reach them.
Popular Choice Second Prize: Right Track: Metro-North, by David Waring
This Android app provides quick access to Metro-North schedules, real-time status updates and track assignments.

NYC BigApps: Advice from past winner Abby Suckle

samanthabtse — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:42:25 -0500

Reblog from the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC):

Making progress on your BigApps submission? The deadline for NYC BigApps 3.0 is January 25th! For inspiration, we checked in with previous BigApps winners for words of wisdom for this year’s competitors. Read on for insights from Abby Suckle, President of CultureNOW, whose Museum Without Walls app took Honorable Mention last year. The app allows users to experience public art and architecture in Downtown Manhattan using location maps, self-guided tours, and podcasts.

Abby displays CultureNOW’s map of Manhattan after accepting award from Mayor Bloomberg.

What advice would you give new BigApps applicants?
Have big goals. It’s not enough to just make another transit app. Instead teams need to focus on exploring NYC’s rich, diverse facets to create really interesting, useful apps.

How has your app, company, or career evolved since winning BigApps?
CultureNOW has worked closely with the City and other cultural/academic partners to greatly expand our app content. We’ve also become an increasingly national platform for cultural guide information in many cities throughout the US. Additionally, we’ve released an Android version of our app.

What are your future goals for your app, company, or self?
CultureNOW plans to continue to improve our app and grow our user base. As a non-profit with a strong mission, we are always looking for ideas on how to take our app to a new level.

What are the most important aspects of winning BigApps for you?
BigApps was a coming of age for CultureNOW and a great way to meet people. But, we’re still waiting on BMW to give us a car!

A full house at NYC BigApps 3.0 Developer Day

samanthabtse — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 11:36:00 -0500

Nearly 100 software developers, designers, and innovators joined us for NYC BigApps 3.0 Developer Day on Saturday, Jan. 7 at Pivotal Labs in Union Square.

NYC BigApps 3.0 participants coded, met new teammates, chowed down, and had a blast. Some were just getting started on their BigApps submissions (due Jan. 25!), while others shot their submission videos. One developer showed up with 3 tablets for testing. Another told me “the next Mark Zuckerberg is in the room.” (And judging by past BigApps winners’ successes, he might be right about that!)

Special thanks to Andrew Nicklin, Director of Enterprise Architecture at NYC DoITT, who gave a tour of NYC Open Data offerings and took questions and feedback throughout the day. And to API partners CartoDB, Etsy, The New York Times, and StreetEasy, who were on hand to answer questions.

NYC BigApps: Advice from past winner Aaron Royston

Reminder: Spots still open for NYC BigApps 3.0 Developer Day this Saturday, January 7! Free registration here. Come work on your app, meet the NYC Open Data team, and collaborate with other developers and designers!

Reblog from the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC):

How’s your app coming along? The deadline for NYC BigApps 3.0 submissions is coming up January 25th. For inspiration, we checked in with previous BigApps winners for words of wisdom for this year’s competitors. Read on for insights from Aaron Royston of Sportaneous, which is a location-based online and iPhone application that allows users to find fellow athletes to play games with at nearby public facilities.

What were the most important aspects of winning BigApps for you?
Sportaneous won the Popular Choice award and 2nd Overall Grand Prize, and we received a lot of publicity following the event. Our app requires a strong network effect to be effective, so therefore this PR helped a lot in building our user base.

How has your app, company, or career evolved since winning BigApps?
From the BigApps recognition we received, co-founder Omar Haroun and I were invited to the White House to receive the Champions of Change award in Technology and Innovation, which was a great honor.

What are your future goals for your app, company, or self?
Sportaneous is evolving into a discovery tool beyond just pick-up sports, and we are developing a proprietary algorithm to help suggest activities that our users will enjoy. The new edition should be released in the spring.

What advice would you give new BigApps applicants?
The user interface is a key component to making an app compelling and attractive. It is not simply about the idea, but the execution is critical.

NYC BigApps: Advice from past winner Judy Wong

samanthabtse — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 13:46:00 -0500

We love hearing success stories from past NYC BigApps winners! Check out Judy’s new iPhone app that helps tourists and residents explore the Lower East Side.

Reblog from the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC):

The deadline for NYC BigApps 3.0 submissions is less than one month away. For inspiration, we checked in with previous BigApps winners for words of wisdom for this year’s competitors. Read on for insights from Judy Wong of NYC Plan It, which won the NYC BigApps 2.0 City Talent Award. NYCPlanIt serves as a personal tour guide for visitors in New York City.

What were the most important aspects of winning BigApps for you?

It was a joy for us to create NYC Plan It, which would help NYC’s major tourism and travel industry by supporting local businesses like restaurants and shops. Using technology to practically help people around us—travelers, locals and also industry folks—meant a lot for us working in technology. Many times there is a disconnect between business and charity, and business and the real lives of people.

How has your app, company, or career evolved since winning BigApps?

Since the competition, we have been developing our app across platforms in iOS for iPhone as well as other platforms such as Blackberry. We’ve also listened to our users and have redesigned the pages to be more modern and contemporary. The users have given us a lot of kudos for the concept of NYC Plan It and now we have caught on to their need to cover more mobile markets and make the UI friendlier. We’ve also had chances to develop more apps for Android and iPhone. Check out our iPhone app for the Lower East Side Tourism Center.

What are your future goals for your app, company, or self?

We hope to continue to develop our product within this niche local NYC market. We hope to help build up businesses during such hard economic times. After 9/11 it was hard, but with this economy it’s continued to be difficult. Maybe our app can help things improve for consumers, travelers, locals, and businesses alike.

What advice would you give new BigApps applicants?

Keep up the good work. Creativity really helps to drive technology and connect users, our world around us and the emerging technology market. It’s also great to be part of the Big Apple; if your app can make it here, it can make it anywhere.

Excluding your own, what’s your favorite BigApps app?

Our team felt that the winners all had wonderful apps. We need the parking space finder since it’s so useful. DontEat.at was also really great. We love food and eating and find that helpful as we go to different restaurants. It’s absolutely the favorite of our friends, too.

NYC BigApps: Advice from previous winner David Mahfouda

samanthabtse — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 17:31:00 -0500

Reblog from the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC):

The deadline for BigApps 3.0 submissions is less than one month away. For inspiration, we checked in with previous BigApps winners for words of wisdom for this year’s competitors. Read on for insights from David Mahfouda, co-founder of Weeels. The Weeels App offers people with mobile phones a fast, easy, and affordable way to order car service and share rides.

What were the most important aspects of winning BigApps for you?

It was very gratifying to receive recognition from the City for our hard work: generating shared rides in order to reduce congestion and emissions in NYC, and providing low-cost transportation alternatives for NYC residents.

How has your app, company, or career evolved since winning BigApps?

Weeels has become a proud tenant of NYC ACRE (New York City Accelerator for a Clean and Renewable Economy), another City initiative that has been a fantastic resource for our company and NYC’s cleantech sector in general. From our new base at NYC ACRE, Weeels has developed a partnership with the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission and the Port Authority, creating a line-management system that facilitates cab-sharing from airports—a product that will be available this spring. The company has also been able to license its software to international organizations, which will be implementing ride-sharing programs powered by Weeels.

What are your future goals for your app, company, or self?

Weeels just launched an easy-to-use transit-directions application called Don’t Be Late. Don’t Be Late reads your Google Calendar and sends you travel directions before your upcoming appointments, so users can forgo last-minute Google-mapping. Also, we’re really looking forward to the new version of Weeels, which will be available in just a few weeks. Keep an eye out!

What advice would you give new BigApps applicants?

Enjoy! That, and be forward with the City about what your needs are, especially from a data perspective. In our experience, city agencies have been very receptive to inquiries and feedback.

Excluding your own, what’s your favorite BigApps app?

Don’t Eat At! We know a lot of other people love this app, but we do too! We think it illustrates the power of correlation. In the media world, it can be hard to remember that most users don’t want complex interfaces and a glut of information. What users need is the right information at the right time. Our newest app, Don’t Be Late, was created with this in mind.
