Tell us about your app --- Share the article Competition time! Calling all developers – how well does your app converge across devices?

Beautifully convergent apps across Phone, Tablet, and Desktop make us happy! **Why does it matter?** Converged apps are the future! Less time can be spent coding different apps with more focus on user experience. For users this means greater productivity having a single device that can easily switch displays.
