Australian Made Apps have made a name for themselves in the market of iOS gaming. From Fruit Ninja to Crossy Road to Deputy, Australian made games have made their way to the top of the charts. David Mah is the co-founder of Bluesky, Australia’s leading social shopping app. The company has over 230,000 users and over 875 retailers. Since its launch thirteen months ago, Bluesky has reached the top fifteen ranking in the App Store. Previously, David Mah founded and built several tech start ups and a non-profit organisation. In addition, he has managed to raise $1.7 million in venture capital.
Buy Australian is an iOS app that helps customers discover Australian-made products
The Buy Australian app helps customers discover where the goods they buy are made and supports local companies. It allows customers to scan the barcodes of thousands of products to find out which ones are made in Australia. The app gives a score out of 100 depending on how much of the product is Australian-made, which helps customers find products that are made locally. Creator Alex Black hopes that the app will help Australian consumers find the right products that meet their needs and support their local community.
The app has a free version that lets users view scores for hundreds of thousands of products, but users who want a more personalised experience can upgrade to the MAX subscription version. This lets users personalise the app and save their favourite products to multiple lists. The app focuses on Woolworths at the moment, but aims to add other major supermarkets, such as Aldi, to its database.
Fruit Ninja
The original Fruit Ninja came about as a brilliant accident and then a calculated stroke of genius. It was created by Luke Muscat, with help from Joe Gatling, Shath Maguire and Steve Last. It was a collaborative effort and almost entirely the result of their labour of love. The team didn’t have a long development process and no management team to rely on.
The game has been downloaded more than one billion times. This makes it the second most popular game in the App Store. However, it’s a tough business to be in. Two Australian video game companies have already closed their doors, including THQ Australia. In April, 2K Australia also shut down their Canberra offices.
Crossy Road
Crossy Road is a puzzle game for the iOS and Android platforms that features a mascot from the Android OS. It has a number of other exclusive features, like collectible dessert items that reference different versions of the Android OS. There are also 50 playable characters, and the developers are working on more goodies for fans.
The game was created by Matthew Hall, an Australian who grew up on a sheep farm in Western Australia. He has worked for larger corporations in the past, but has been able to find success developing games for the App Store. He made his first number one app in 2010, then another in 2012, and then developed Crossy Road in 2014. Since its release in November, the game has accumulated more than 20 million downloads worldwide.
Deputy
Deputy is an employee scheduling app designed for Apple iOS and Android devices. It also has a web version. The mobile app allows you to create employee schedules, share them with your team, offer open shifts, and swap shifts. It also helps you communicate with your team and monitor employee productivity.
Deputy allows you to manage the schedules for every employee, including overtime. It also has scheduling shortcuts and supports integration with several payroll platforms. The app allows you to import a schedule from Microsoft Excel and copy shifts from previous time periods. The default Weekly view displays a grid-style calendar with positions to fill each day, as well as authorised employees at a location.
