🏆 iOS Contest, Round 2 (watchOS): Results

The WatchOS competition was unusual for us – unlike most of our contests, it hasn’t yielded any high-quality or even functioning apps. Despite that, we're sticking to our commitment to distribute ~$50,000 among the winners.

Here are the results of the Second Round of the iOS Contest:

1st PLACE – $20,000
🥇Hip Hyena – This app includes most of the required features and can run on a real Apple Watch. It supports viewing chats (including a wide range of media) as well as sending messages and stickers. It can handle chats with large numbers of messages fairly well.

2nd PLACE – $10,000
🥈Noble Puma – This app can also run on a real Apple Watch. It supports a limited list of features, including logging in, viewing the chat list and displays text messages in chats. The app fails to display profile photos or media in chats.
