Swiss App Awards 2013, February 07., Zurich, Switzerland
Jury
We believe that the people who are most fit to judge the different elements and features of an app are the people who work with apps and have specific knowledge within the field. Either they develop them or constantly use them in their every day. To avoid conflict, if a jury member has been part of the development of one of the submitted apps, he or she cannot vote for that respective app.
The jury is:
