AWARD PROCESS
With all iOS apps and games eligible and under consideration, winners were selected based on a combination of quantitative metrics and qualitative factors.
The analytical evaluation component focused on app store user review scores submitted over the course of 2017 to measure user engagement. The qualitative component – benefiting from the Tabby Awards expertise in judging app and game awards since 2012 – focused on user interface, design, and innovation. The degree of tablet-optimization was also a key factor in the assessment of iPad apps and games.
