The Best of Google Play in 2021.

The winners of Google Play’s Best of 2021, a celebration of applications and games that have contributed positively to culture this year, have been unveiled. We’ve also expanded this year’s awards to include applications and games for tablets, as well as apps for Wear OS and Google TV, to promote innovation on Google Play.

Google Play's Best of 2021

The Google Play Best of winners reflects the future of app and game development by bucking the standard, offering novel gaming features, and giving consumers never-before-seen experiences. Personal improvement applications, like our Best of 2020 winners, were in great demand in 2021. This year’s winners found creative and often thoughtful ways to help users get to know each other better. Libra, which won our award for the best app of 2021, encourages people to find their center through personalized meditations; Moonly provides advice and instructions based on the lunar calendar, and Laughscape helps people reach a meditative state through laughter.

“We are deeply honoured that Google has chosen Libra as the best app of 2021,” said Jesse Pickard, Founder and CEO of Elevate Labs. “We created Balance with the individual in mind. No two people are the same and we wanted to create a personalized mental wellness program that could reflect and support those particular differences. I also want to thank our clients for their help in our journey. Your commitment and comments allowed us to build a really wonderful product together.

Meanwhile, in games, Pokémon UNITE took home the best game award for its dynamic gameplay and cross-platform experience. We’ve also seen a wave of independent developers creating imaginative and personal gaming experiences. Indie developer George Batchelor brought us Bird Alone, a game that challenges you to befriend “the loneliest bird in the world”. And in Donut County, developed by Annapurna Interactive, you play as a growing hole in a physics-based puzzle game. Check out the full list of this year’s U. winners below, ranging from big developers to emerging independents. You can also find the winners for your country in the Best of 2021 section of the Play Store.
