Cori

After a year and a half the app is finally ready to launch and we are really proud of it. It has even won the ON4U "best idea" award on Álava Emprende's "your idea counts" 2021 contest.

We are very grateful to the Álava Emprende jury, and to ON4U in particular for their support of Cori. But above all, thank you for supporting the Basque entrepreneurial ecosystem and for giving wings to our ideas.

Today we hit 500 preorders on our Apple App Store page. What an incredible number. We are really grateful for all the support and feedback all our users are giving.

We cannot wait to ship Cori this autumn to al iPhone an iPad users with the launch of iOS/iPadOS 15.

These last few weeks have been non-stop at Chubby Apps. Cori continues to evolve by leaps and bounds, so much so that it can now be reserved for free on the App Store.

P.S. Taking advantage of the launch of the pre-order on the App Store we’ve completely remodelled the Cori website, don’t forget to take a look!

After several months of hard work we have finally finished laying the foundations on which the app will stand. We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but we think the time has come to launch the public beta. We want to develop Cori openly, collecting feedback from all kinds of users to help us make the best possible app.

We are Chubby Apps, and we make software that doesn’t need an instruction manual. With cute design and that improves people’s lives.

We may not have been born with a tablet under our arms like children today, but we’ve been messing around with technology for as long as we can remember. And we’ve realized that what is very simple for us, it’s really difficult for other people (like our parents and even many friends). Technology has to be simple and help us improve our lives. It shouldn’t catch us in an infinite doomscrolling that depresses us more and more.

We want to change the conversation around technology. From the bad things to good ones. From children hooked on their tablets, to those who learn by themselves to do anything they can imagine. From apps that collect all your data to sell it to the highest bidder, to apps that respect your privacy.

Because if there is something that we (Patricia Bedoya and I, Asier G. Morato) are clear about it’s that technology is wonderful. Thanks to it, we can create a small company in a city like Vitoria-Gasteiz in the north of Spain and reach the whole world.
Launching a project like this in the midst of a global pandemic hasn’t been easy. Luckily, we have the support of such wonderful people as BIC Araba, the Cámara de Álava or Metxa among others who have helped us since we started this project almost two years ago.

Today, April 6, we can finally introduce you to Chubby Apps.

I, Asier G. Morato, wanted to learn programing for a while and with the introduction of SwiftUI decided that it was the right time to start. Then the COVID-19 pandemic arrived on Spain and the whole country went on lockdown.

I have been diabetic since I was 14 years old and during lockdown my sugar levels went crazy because of the stress and the lack of exercise. Our hospitals where saturated due the virus and even tough I had a lot of data from my glucose sensor it was pretty hard to understand. That's when the idea of Cori was born.
