During an evening presentation at Google I/O last night, Google announced winners for their first ever Google Play Awards. After announcing a handful of apps for a handful of categories (like “Best use of Material Design” and “Best game”) a few weeks back, we now know who reigns supreme in the eyes of Google’s “panel of experts on the Google Play team.”
And the winners are:
- Best app: Houzz
- Best families app: Thinkrolls 2
- Best game: Clash Royale
- Best use of Material Design: Robinhood
- Best use of Google Play Game Services: Table Tennis Touch
- Early adopter: World Around Me
- Go global: Pokemon Shuffle Mobile
- Most innovative: NYT VR
- Standout indie: Alphabear
- Standout startup: Hopper
Big user of any of those apps? Houzz is certainly a wonderful app that probably deserves the win there. Robinhood is also a very well made app. I haven’t used many of the others, but really would have liked to have seen Alto’s Adventure snag the “best game” award.




Hopper is amazing! I’ve been tracking like 5 different flights I have planned in the next year; takes a ton of stress out of worrying about pricing dynamics. Also quite a beautiful app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hopper.mountainview.play&hl=en&gl=us
Robinhood is a beautiful app, they follow the material design to a fine print, well deserved.
Dont use any…. :/
Meh. Clash Royale really? There must better games on Android to win than that IAP money pit. I do like Alphabear. Their current release if pretty fun. None of the rest I use.

Clash Royale: best game ever until youve played it for 2 weeks and realize it is the most repetitive game in the history of games.
It’s nice but I can’t get to Arena 5 :'(
Something to spend my Google Opinion Rewards on. Seriously, now almost $85 burning a hole in my pocket (smartphone).
I don’t understand how everyone gets so much! I’ve gotten maybe $25-30 in total.
How long have you been using it? I have been in day one and have bought maybe 1 or 2 dozen android apps in my life time (paid ones). Also, if you live in or around a busier city with more stores and shopping, you get a lot more pings. When i travel out of town for the week, I get maybe 1 or 2 a week. My normal week and weekend, I get about 6 to 7 a day.
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW………….
