Announcing the 2026 𝝠 Expo App Awards 🙌

The talent, the care, and the craft we see in the Expo community is staggering. There are powerful, beautiful, important apps getting built with Expo tools and services every day.

The 𝝠 Expo App Awards is a celebration of the apps and the people who build them.

Last year we had over 1,200 submissions and winners from big enterprises, solo devs (we hired one of them @DaehyeonMun!), and tiny startups that have grown and been acquired.

The award categories are:

🏆 Expo App of the Year
🏆 Most Creative
🏆 Community's Choice
🏆 Largest Scale
🏆 Most Innovative

Submission criteria is simple: if your app uses Expo you should submit it.

We encourage you to explain what is special about your app in the submission form. For example, if you have unique haptics, or clever Live Activities, or a super nuanced onboarding experience please share that in your submission.

Submissions begin today and go through the end of the month. Then we'll begin evaluating and announcing nominees/winners.

Exact is stupid fast. 120fps scrolling, near-instant startup, and web perf right up there with Astro.

You write UI in Contract, a typed language that's built by @ccheever and agents for agents.

Right now Exact is pre-alpha - we're sharing it because we want more users/feedback. Have your agent try it:
github.com/expo/exact
github.com/expo/exact-tem…

Every run claims streets on a live map of your city. Then clubs and rivals try to take them back.

That's INTVL. 300,000+ people use it each month, and on Oct 18 runners logged 240,000+ km in one day.

This one came in for the Expo App Awards. Which streets would you defend?

Someone is always turning a page in mekuru.

It's a tiny 3D reading room. Sit down as an animal avatar with your own paper book, and strangers read beside you. No chat, no likes, just reading time.

Cloud Sims are a massive piece of the agentic mobile development loop.

Expo has become an agentic mobile infrastructure company and the Cloud Sims combined with our cloud builds, OTA updates, submissions and observability unlock truly agentic development.
