Waze, the popular Israeli GPS navigation app, won the 2013
Mobile World Congress’ Judges Choice Award for best overall mobile application, beating other top contenders
such as Dropbox, Flipboard and Square, the electronic payment service.
“This is a huge win for our community — thanks Wazers,
for making us number 1! Waze wrote on its Facebook page. The
company added: “It takes 40 million drivers to make a great service that
impacts the world, and that’s just the beginning. Imagine what we’ll able to do
at 100 million.”
Waze was among four other Israeli applications
nominated in the competition under different categories. The other
Israeli apps were MyCheck, Intucell, Isracard and uTest.
