The Muther! - App Categories

HOW TO WIN!

The Muther! will feature the following categories of apps in our competition. See the Judging & Rules page for more info on how the contest will work. Develop new apps, or enhance your existing app - both will be eligible for prizes! We will have two times to submit your apps for judging: Friday evening and Saturday mid-day. You can enter your app in multiple categories, but you only submit it one time!

Sustainability and Accessibility

AT&T is looking for apps that are focused on the environment,  promote eco-friendly activities or incorporate elements that make application accessible to all users.

Develop with AT&T and get the tools you need to build, test, onboard and certify applications across a range of devices, OS’s and platforms, and best of all, gain access to more than 90 million AT&T customers.

Best Interactive App that Quakes, Quivers, or Trembles

Immersion's MOTIV SDK lets you create the most interactive application by injecting haptic (touch) feedback into apps. It contains a library of hundreds of predesigned effects combined with an integration layer that ensures optimized playback on ANY Android device with a motor, supporting Android 1.5 - Android 3.0. So let your salt shaker app shake like a salt shaker or your social network app tremble. You get the idea. We're judging on the most unique and compelling implementation of haptic effects in an app.
