I’m pleased to learn that the Superpages mobile app from SuperMedia won Best App in the “Marketing/Branding/Advertising” category at the MediaPost 2012 Appy Awards, held March 19 in San Francisco.

The second annual Appy Awards acknowledged extraordinary applications across devices, platforms and carriers. The awards focused on honoring the best apps in a diverse range of categories, ranging from games and news, to health and fitness, social networking, photography, and many others. Past winners in other categories have included Angry Birds, Facebook and Skye mobile apps.

The Superpages mobile app, available for iPhone, Android, Kindle Fire and iPad, features a virtual wheel users can spin to find local information such as deals, gas prices, movie listings, restaurants, services and retailors, along with many other subcategories. Other features include voice-activated search, augmented reality viewer, predictive search, Foursquare tips and social integration with Facebook and Twitter.
