IGenApps

Name and history

The name was a combination of three elements: the "i", meaning interactive, "gen" as an abbreviation for generation and "apps" for applications. Another interpretation of the name is "igen", as in the new Internet Generation of young users, being able to create mobile apps. igenapps was founded in March 2012 by Norman Ortiz and was available on the market by March 2010. The product was initially limited to only Windows PC users with a version of Microsoft Excel 2000 or higher. The application only allowed the creation of 4 different screen types and was based on JQuery and HTML at that time.

Awards

In February 2011, igenapps was among the top 50 big ideas from the International CTIA Wireless Association. In March 2011, igenapps was awarded first place in the B!g Idea Contest. igenapps became one of the 13 finalists in the MobiTechFest held in Boston in May 2011.
