Nearly three years to the day that media consulting firm Jacobs Media announced the formation of jacAPPS, the company has reached an incredible milestone in mobile application development-- its 500th application release.

"Back in the fall of 2008 with the economy facing unprecedented challenges, few would have expected a company like ours to emerge as the leading app developer for radio," company President Fred Jacobs remarks. In addition, to radio, jacAPPS designs and builds apps for a wide array of business categories and industries, including festivals, events, sports brands, and other verticals. jacAPPS also works with advertising agencies as an outsource provider that connects their clients with the mobile opportunity. jacAPPS has created custom apps for the iPhone, Android, and Blackberry platforms.

Vice President/General Manager Paul Jacobs said, "We were fortunate to have been chosen as the app developer for great companies like Entercom, Greater Media, Cox, Lincoln Financial, and many others. We were recognized early on by iconic brands like K-Love and Air1, which opened up the Christian Broadcasting world to us. C-SPAN Radio, and other great non-commercial radio franchises have added to our portfolio."
