Google Announces This Year’s Google Play Awards Nominees, Winners Coming at I/O

Google announced the 2018 Google Play Awards nominees today to celebrate the best experiences in Android.

The Google Play Awards, for those not familiar, are a celebration of the applications and games that “represent some of the best experiences available on Android.” Google selects the apps that are up for awards, but they also need to meet select criteria like a high Play rating or having launched a major update since April of last year.

The categories of awards include Standout Well-Being App, Best Social Impact, Standout Indie, Best AR or VR Experience, and Best Breakthrough Hit. In those categories, you’ll find apps like Drops, Moovit, Khan Academy, Figment AR, Universal Copy, and Headspace.

Google will announce the winners at Google I/O on May 7.
