Google Play store shares its ‘Best Apps of 2014’ list

Like it has done in recent years, Google is today displaying its list of top app picks for the year with around 70 apps total receiving the award.

Google has a section on Google Play displaying the “Best Apps of 2014” and in it includes a number of high-profile apps alongside lesser known entrants. The majority of the apps are free, but there are also a few paid offerings like Over, 7 Minute Workout, djay 2, and others. Some of the bigger names on the list include IFTTT, Shazam, Yahoo News Digest, CNN, Uber, and Mailbox.

There are a few apps that made the list for the second time this year— like Wunderlist and Duolingo— but last year Google only included a handful of apps compared to the 70 or so this year.

Last year Google also held its Player Choice award for the best apps and games of the year offering a similar list of the best apps as voted by users.
