Structured earned an award for simplifying planning through a unified visual timeline, Reading.com for scripted, science-based literacy lessons designed for both children and parents, and Suno for an AI music-creation workflow that supports extensive editing and personalization. Fitbod was celebrated for adaptive workout plans that evolve with users’ recovery and progress, and independent developer Emmanuel Crouvisier’s CardPointers won for helping users maximize credit-card rewards through a focused, cross-platform product and strategic payment choices. The event also acknowledged winners of RevenueCat’s Shipaton 2026 global mobile hackathon and invited developers to return for the 2027 awards.
