Like every year, the Google Play Store has published its ranking of the best applications for Android phones and tablets. For 2023, it’s an entertainment app that wins the award, but there are also free mobile apps that stand out.
No, it is not always easy to know which are the best mobile applications.
Especially in the Android world, where there are hundreds of millions to choose from in the Play Store.
Google lists the best applications every year and has now published its ranking for 2023.
What are the best apps for Android phones in 2023?
Unlike Apple’s 2023 App Store rankings, Google divided the winners into different categories to determine the best apps in their respective areas. This is the ranking.
Best Android app of 2023
The app Imprint: Learn Visually received the highest award.
This is an app designed to help us master essential topics in psychology, philosophy, history, finance, leadership, economics, health, science, technology and more through interactive sessions.
Best Android games of 2023
For video game enthusiasts, Honkai: Star Rail stood out. The application also received the same award from Apple.
Best cross-device app
When it comes to the best app for multiple devices, Spotify stood out.
A decision that can perhaps be explained by the integration of the jam function this year.
This feature allows us to create a temporary playlist that multiple people can participate in at the same time.
Best cross-platform game
In the same category, but this time for games, OUTERPLANE – Strategy Anime won.
