App: Digby
Company: 30 Second Software
Year it was a top mobile app: 2007
Why it was a Top Mobile App: Digby's m-commerce application emphasized transaction speed and efficiency. The app stored its retailer partners' best-selling items within the application download, and refreshed the selection each night. Digby also reduced the number of times the service connected with the mobile Web--the user's credit card information also was stored on users' devices. At the time, Digby offered users access to over 1 million products. Click here [1] for more.
Its current status: In 2008, Digby raised $5 million in venture capital to help expand its software product development. The company's mobile commerce suite now supports the iPhone, Android, Web and BlackBerry platforms.
