Whether you are trying to organize your finances, market your small business or even find a date for Friday night the answer seems to lie right on your phone. There’s literally an app for just about anything. In fact, according to Statista, the Apple App Store has 1.96 million apps available for download while the Google Play Store has 2.87 million. With a lack of a search function to find Black-owned apps as well as a plethora of choices, one needs to take the extra step to support African American–owned app companies.
Creating an app and getting it into the App store or Google Play store is just the first feat. The success of an app depends on users, which means downloads are necessary. As a community, we need to support our Black-owned apps. Having trouble discovering them? Don’t worry they are out there. Support Black-owned businesses while making your life easier? Sounds like a win win to us!
