What customers are saying
FOX Sports scores big points with new mobile app
"With Visual Studio Tools for Xamarin, our team went from nothing to having a functional, cross-platform app very, very quickly…. We can add new features, test their UIs in App Center to see what they look like on real iOS and Android devices, see where issues were, and react to those quickly. The development process was fun."
Tom Zentmeyer: Vice President of Technology and Games, FOX Sports
Digital agency powers more than 200 real-time, scalable mobile apps with cloud solution
"Push notifications are a big part of our app engagement strategy, and using Azure Notification Hubs gives you a smart, easy way to set these up."
Martin Stava: Technical Cofounder, STRV
Delivering breaking news, localized to users
"Our familiarity with the Microsoft .NET platform led us to evaluate the Microsoft Azure App Service, but the really deciding factors were the latter’s Mobile Services toolset, such as push notifications, and its many other powerful but easy-to-use features like auto-scaling."
Wayne Schwebel: Software, Architect/Team Lead, Nine Entertainment Company
