Google Play Reveals Top Apps and Games of 2024

Partiful, a New York-based event-planning app, has been named Google's "App of the Year" for 2024, despite its predominantly iOS user base. Founded in 2020 by Joy Tao and Shreya Murthy, the app allows users to design event pages, manage RSVPs, and sync events with calendars. It has raised $27.34 million in funding, with a pre-money valuation of $120 million. Partiful's popularity is largely among Gen Z users in the U.S., with over a million downloads this year, mostly from the Apple App Store.
