Apps are taking over the world, and why not? The best apps provide a clean, direct interface that gives us immediate access to the latest news, info and business data. And now, in their fourth year, the Tabby Awards are introducing a new category specifically for the best business smartphone apps — the Mobby Awards/Business. The 2015 nominees include 34 Android and iOS apps for work and productivity in 12 categories. The winners will be announced later this fall.

This year's categories for the Mobby Awards/Business include collaboration, communications, enterprise solutions, productivity, small business tools, presentations and vertical marketing. In this slideshow, we've featured the top business and professional apps identified as the 2015 Mobby Awards/Business nominees.
