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.
Apple and Google have announced their best apps and games of the year, with AllTrails winning as Apple's iPhone App of the Year and Imprint: Learn Visually winning as Google Play's best app. Both companies chose Honkai: Star Rail as their Game of the Year. Surprisingly, neither Apple nor Google named an AI app as their app of the year, despite the success of ChatGPT and others. Apple's selection included well-established apps like Duolingo and Flighty, while Google highlighted "multi-device" apps.
