Summary

ArcTouch helped Yahoo create three lovable apps, including Yahoo! Weather, Yahoo! Messenger, and Yahoo! Flickr for iOS and Android.


ArcTouch engineers worked side-by-side with Yahoo engineering and design teams to augment their expertise, and helped them accelerate their product roadmap to release innovative new features faster and with higher quality.



The Yahoo! Weather app was honored with a prestigious Apple Design Award in 2013, and the Yahoo! Flickr apps were Webby Award honorees in 2010.
