Most Voted Apps jury member
Nelli Hergenröther
Managing Director Evenly
Apps have been a central part of my professional life for around 15 years. As a Project and Product Manager, I have conceptualized, developed, and successfully launched numerous apps. For the past ten years, I have been the Managing Director of my own software agency, Evenly, working with clients such as ARTE, Universal Music, Deutsche Bahn, the Umweltbundesamt (German Environment Agency), and WWF. One of our key areas of expertise is media apps.
When evaluating apps, usability and accessibility are particularly important to me. A good app should be intuitive, accommodate different needs, and be accessible to as many people as possible. My experience in product management and development allows me to assess both the conceptual and technical quality of an app, as well as the actual user experience.
I also use apps extensively in my personal life, particularly for productivity and organization.
Nelli’s Recommendations
An oldie but a goodie: Notes! Whether you’re on the go and have a new product idea, writing a storyline for a role-playing game session, or just want to jot down some thoughts about your day - Notes lets you do it quickly and informally, and your notes are synced to the cloud.
One of my favorite ways to clear my head is hiking. Komoot is super helpful for both spontaneous hikes and planning hikes at vacation destinations. The highlights along the trail, created by previous users, are the icing on the cake!
Glority Global Group Ltd.
As a woman of a certain age, I’ve naturally developed a love for gardening! Unfortunately, my enthusiasm sometimes exceeds my talent when it comes to keeping plants alive, or even identifying them. PictureThis has been incredibly helpful, both when I’m out in the wild and when I’m tending to my rooftop garden.
An app that goes beyond vocabulary and set phrases, explains even complicated grammar rules clearly, and teaches you slang and everyday expressions? Count me in! I’ve been learning French with Gymglish for two years now, and I can even understand Canadians and Belgians these days.
