With 2024 winding down soon, Google Play today named the best Android apps and games of the year. These lists are localized, and you can browse your country by tapping the banners at the top of the Play Store.

This year, there is no Users’ Choice category that allows for voting on an App and Game.

The best “overall” Android app of 2024 as selected by the Google Play team is Partiful:

Event planning platform Partiful took home Play’s Best App award thanks to its intuitive design and fresh twist on invite creation. Its “Party Genie” tool helps quickly design invitations and offers an easy way for potential attendees to RSVP via a simple link.

AFK Journey is the best overall game of 2024:

“AFK Journey”’s expansive roster of characters and satisfying tactical bale system made this fantasy RPG our Best Game of the year. Its vast explorable world and beautiful art style also helps it stand apart from its peers.

Meanwhile, the best multi-device app of 2024 is Max, while the best multi-device game is Clash of Clans.

“With a vast library of television shows, movies and original content, Max’s ability to let you pick up where you left off across a multitude of devices secured its spot as an award winner. Whether you’re watching on your television, tablet or even via a car with Google built-in, you can enjoy a full library of content wherever you are.”
“Clash of Clans may have been around for well over a decade — but this year it went even bigger by expanding to PCs and Chromebooks. Now the mobile classic is optimized across everywhere you play, however you want to play, whether it’s on a phone, foldable, tablet, Chromebook or PC.”
