Billions Apps and counting that have been downloaded. At the International CES,
the Mobile Apps Showdown is held to choose the best of the latest. The Judges get to select the 10 Finalists who
will demonstrate their Apps in a live stage at the show. The audience, which will

The
Breathometer™ app connects seamlessly to the revolutionary Breeze, the world’s
only wearable, portable breathalyzer that’s helping users make informed social
drinking decisions. Weighing under an ounce, the stunning industrial design of
the Breeze encourages frequent and subtle usage. User’s simply blow into the
Breeze’s contoured mouthpiece which sends instant blood alcohol content (BAC)
level data to the app via Bluetooth LE. More than just a BAC number is
presented- when alcohol is detected, Breathometer tells you when you will be
“Back to Zero” – or Sober! User safety is enhanced with location-based links to
services such as Uber, cab companies, local hotel and restaurants, so they can
get a ride, reach a friend, or stay nearby. Users can also access their BAC level
history, giving them insight into how alcohol affects them over time.
SHAREit is a
fast way to share photos, videos, music, contacts, apps and more from one
device to another. SHAREit eliminates the need for cables as a
transmission tool with zero network traffic, taking advantage of
Wi-Fi hotspots to quickly transfer data 40 times faster
than Bluetooth. SHAREit does not require an active internet connection,
does not require data or incur network charges and is compatible with all
file formats. Transferring between devices can be done person-to-person or
in a group setting, combining up to five devices for mass transfers of
300MB+. Simply open the app, discover available devices, select the file and
just like that, the content leaps from your device to the other in the
blink of an eye.

uCiC (you
see I see) allows you to select any area in the world and reach out to users,
whether you know them or not, to complete an image or video request for you.
Along with the reward of a good deed, they receive in-app Karma Points that
they can use to make their own requests. E.g. you need a specific kind of
flowers for your grandma’s birthday. You can send a request out to three
different flower shops around you and ask if anyone has seen them. Users that
receive the request can send you a picture of the flowers and the location
where to get them. So whether you want to see the sunset in Paris, or check if
the fire you see on the TV news has reached your house, uCiC will show you what
you need.

Hi.Q
replaces health forums and quizzes found online or in magazines with an
addictive app and active community that provides users with the confidence and
knowledge they need to take care of themselves and their loved ones. Hi.Q is
flipping the entire approach to digital and quantified health on its head.
Rather than using an app to motivate people to exercise and eat right, Hi.Q
celebrates the choices healthy people have already made and connects them with
other individuals they can actively learn from. Hi.Q is a daily health
assessment that tests overall health consciousness and compares a user’s
knowledge to that of their friends, health experts and fitness gurus.
