JERUSALEM, Dec. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Since Lightricks' founding in 2013, it has been committed to building fun, powerful apps that reimagine how content is created all over the world. It is more than app developers -- it is a team of academic researchers, technologists, designers, engineers and digital storytellers -- all working to combine cutting-edge design, technology and research to innovate the way people create, consume and engage with content. Over the years, Lightricks has been fortunate to have its apps recognized for their power, innovation and design by loyal fans.

Today marks another milestone - and Lightricks is thrilled to share TWO exciting announcements that are helping to wrap up 2019 with a bang.

StoryBoost is recognized as part of Apple's #BestOf2019 Trends of the Year

The App Store provides an ideal platform for developers to deliver amazing products to the masses, and Lightricks built StoryBoost so that any individual, influencer, or brand can quickly and easily create their own amazing visual stories that audiences love. By combining state-of-the-art research and design with constantly evolving social media and visual trends, StoryBoost gives everyone the ability to create stories with little time or effort that stand out and impress.

Lightricks is incredibly honored to attend this exclusive Apple event in New York and be recognized alongside other pioneering app makers the company admires. Thanks to Apple and congratulations to the dedicated individuals who make up the team at StoryBoost and brought this vision to life.

Enlight Pixaloop is chosen as Google Play's Best of 2019

Lightricks is grateful that users continue to enjoy the experiences of creating and editing with the companies apps, and humbled that today Enlight Pixaloop has been recognized as one of Google Play's Best Apps of 2019. The innovative ways people around the world are unleashing their creativity and bringing their imagination to life through our tools never ceases to amaze and inspire us, and Pixaloop is arguably our most magical product, a fun and fast photo animation app that blurs the line between photo and video.

With AI technology under the hood and a streamlined UI/UX out in front, Pixaloop allows users to actually make still photos move, without the learning curve it would take to do the same on desktop.

As one of Google Play's Best Apps of 2019, Lightricks is appreciative of the loyal fans all over the world who find the app as fun as we do. Lightricks would also like to thank the hardworking Pixaloop team, whose long hours and brilliant imaginations have brought joy to so many users.
