a few plays your team leader should prioritize:

- Creating an intuitive user-interface
- Contextual help, to ensure people know how to use the app

experience tailored to your audience. Consider the following top plays, that can really help you win points with attendees!

The competition
Be sure to have the best player take the game winning shot. We compete directly against DIY event app builders. But they don’t
stand a chance when it comes to going one-on-one with Core-apps. These types of solutions can seem like a good idea at the time, but can also lead to bigger problems down the road. Bring your A-game with Core-apps.
- Does your team really have the expertise and time to do it right, on their own?
- It’s an attractive price point, but you get what you pay for
