GetMobio - Top Mobile Apps Revisited 2007

App: GetMobio

Company: Mobio

Year it was a top mobile app: 2007

Why it was a Top Mobile App: The app was made up of more than 50 applications, widgets and RSS feeds. GetMobio outlined local clubs, restaurants, movies and live events according to categories like "After Midnight" and "Outwitting the Kids," serving as an essential out-on-the-town guide. The app even had a "Panic Kit" if the night went awry, with links to cabs, towing services, locksmiths and related emergency services. Click here for more.

Its current status: Mobio appears to have gone out of business, with a 2008 statement on its website declaring that the company was winding down its U.S. operations: "As a result, most of our portals and apps are currently ‘off the air.' We appreciate your patience as we work through several alternative ways to bring back the services."
