Beeline and Technology Development Center
announced the launch of the App Armenia system - a platform for mobile
applications and projects aimed at developing the Armenian-language mobile
content, the company's press service told ArmInfo.   

 

App Armenia consists of two key parts: Web and Mobile.
Web is the www.app.am website, which enables the users to register and to
present their own posters and sound files on the created page. The second part
- the mobile application - enables the users to use the whole content of
www.app.am from their smartphones.  App
Armenia is available for the Android and iOS-based telephones. It can also be
downloaded at Play Store and App Store.

 

Under the project, one of the key directions was the
presentation and development of Armenian-language mobile projects and
enhancement of public awareness of the new local developments. The www.app.am
website publishes the news and materials about mobile applications.  In addition, any Armenian-language mobile
application can be registered in the system and can get an opportunity to
provide information, and the application users will be able to share their
posters, wallpapers, voice and other files with other participants. 

 

"Beeline, as a leading telecommunication
operator, is implementing numerous programs aimed at developing
Armenian-language mobile applications and content. This year we have launched a
few mobile apps in Armenia, which are adjusted to the local market and public
interests. I am sure our project will not only make life better but will also
significantly boost development of the market of Armenian-language apps and
will enhance the youth's involvement in the field, which has a big
potential", said Andrey Pyatakhin, CEO of Beeline Armenia.

 

"The launch of this system is one more serious
step towards development of Armenian-language mobile apps. Today everyone has
numerous useful mobile apps in a smartphone. We will do everything possible to
make App Armenia an efficient and much-in-demand tool for the users and content
creators", said Samvel Chakhalyan, Head of Technology Development Center.
