Google Play's Best 2021: here are all the best applications of the year

Google Play's Best 2021

As has become tradition, Google has elected the best apps available on the Play Store for 2021. The applications nominated by the company for the Google Play's Best 2021 award stood out in different categories for having made a positive contribution to culture and user experience of Android users.

Among the choices made by the public, made on the basis of a shortlist of candidates selected by Google, first of all there is a tendency towards innovation both in the methods of use and gameplay of the elected products than in the devices used. For the first time, in fact, the Google Play's Best of 2021 award includes categories dedicated to Android tablets, Wear OS and Google TV.

The uncertainties faced by users in 2020 continued into the following year: to cope with this difficult period, applications for meditation and the psychophysical balance of the individual have proved to be very useful.

It is no coincidence that the best application of 2021 according to Google is Balance, a personal meditation app produced by the Elevate Labs studio. This is the second year in a row in which an app of this type has won the most coveted award: in 2020 it was Loòna's turn, an application designed with the aim of relaxing and falling asleep more quickly thanks to a series of sounds atmospheric.

Android users will be able to recognize many of the most popular and discussed titles of recent months in the Google ranking, from the Clubhouse voice social network to the Canva content creation and editing utility. However, there is no shortage of content designed for productivity and accessibility such as Speechify, an application that allows you to quickly transform your dictation into text that is easy to edit and share on multiple platforms.

To win the title of best video game for the Android platform of 2021 is Pokémon UNITE: the latest addition to the mobile titles of the Japanese franchise stood out, according to the Mountain View company, "for its dynamic gameplay mode and cross-media experience ». In the section dedicated to the best video games, however, there is the presence of creative and innovative titles, produced by independent studios or developers.

Below is the complete ranking of Google Play's Best 2021 awards referring to the United States: the Italian selection , which shares most of the titles with the international one, is instead available directly from the Google Play Store.
