Announcing the 2026 π Expo App Awards π
The talent, the care, and the craft we see in the Expo community is staggering. There are powerful, beautiful, important apps getting built with Expo tools and services every day.
The π Expo App Awards is a celebration of the apps and the people who build them.
Last year we had over 1,200 submissions and winners from big enterprises, solo devs (we hired one of them @DaehyeonMun!), and tiny startups that have grown and been acquired.
The award categories are:
π Expo App of the Year
π Most Creative
π Community's Choice
π Largest Scale
π Most Innovative
Submission criteria is simple: if your app uses Expo you should submit it.
We encourage you to explain what is special about your app in the submission form. For example, if you have unique haptics, or clever Live Activities, or a super nuanced onboarding experience please share that in your submission.
Submissions begin today and go through the end of the month. Then we'll begin evaluating and announcing nominees/winners.

π Supernova's second app hit a $1M revenue run rate after about three months of development.
Turns out it helps when login, payments, and push all rolled over from their first app.
Now they have three apps built with Expo and a great blog post about the experience.

I've been using @beeper every day for the past 4+ years and I absolutely love it
It's built with SwiftUI and is one of the best-designed iOS apps
So I wanted to see if I could rebuild the same experience with @expo's Exact
It worked so well that I set up my own @Matrix server and switched to my app
Exact is still pre-alpha. Go try and break it: https://t.co/izjrn0WY57

I want to share a preview of something I've been working on called Exact. It's a new Agent Native app framework written in Rust. It's extremely fast and tries to let you build exactly the experience you want with no compromises.
