Calculator finally eliminated Uber in yesterday's contest and it faces the daunting task of competing against Google Earth in the next round.
Welcome back to Gizmodo’s March Madness bracket challenge to name the greatest app of all time and we’re officially down to our Elite Eight! Calculator took Uber to school in yesterday’s tournament, garnering more than 73 percent of the vote and advancing to the next round. Today, we have the biggest encrypted messaging app going toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of maps. If you’re just tuning in, you can read all about our selection criteria for this historic contest right here.
And here’s what we wrote about Google Maps: Launched in 2005, Google Maps is one of the oldest candidates in the competition but has shown no signs of slowing down in its advanced age. If there is a mobile app that can be said to have made the world a better place, it’s hard to argue with this one. The days of printing out MapQuest directions officially ended when this bad boy hit the scene. And even Apple hasn’t been able to catch up.
