A locally-developed internet application has won an international award in Florida, Business Day reported on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The Naspers-owned application, PriceCheck, reportedly beat 100,000 entrants to win the International App of the Year at the BlackBerry Live conference in the United States on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
“What makes it truly outstanding for me is that it is a 100 percent South African-designed and conceptualised app that has won,” PriceCheck general manager Andre de Wet told the Business Day.<\/p>\n
The PriceCheck website is a price comparison website, and is specifically designed for South African shoppers because it takes exchange rates into account.<\/p>\n
