Cortelyou Collective Places 3rd in MTA AppQuest Competiton



Congratulations to Emma Assin and Felipe Flores, who, working as The Cortelyou Collective, won third prize in the MTA AppQuest competition for their app Notify Me NYC (available for Android here), which uses MTA data to let you know if your chosen train is experiencing any issues.

"We are so excited and pleased," says Emma. "Thanks for your support!"

She adds that they'll be working on an iPhone version in the coming year.

Top prize in the competition, which tasked entrants to use MTA data to make a helpful app, went to Embark NYC, which gives step-by-step directions, provides service advisories, and can work without a mobile or internet connection. Second prize went to Free NYC Subway Locator, which helps you find a subway entrance wherever you are.
