Tavares adds:

“Some launched in 2012 while others issued updates that achieved a great combination of utility, beauty and accessibility. Almost all of them are available globally and offer a great user experience on both tablets and phones. From excellent tools to objects of beauty, each of these applications represents the best of Google Play.”

Google chose not to rank the apps, instead letting the programs stand as equals in a field that includes hundreds of thousands of different and varying Android applications.
