Google Play Awards 2025
A new edition of the Google Play Awards has been put online by Google. In different categories, Google highlights this year's most outstanding apps, games and books. Google judges these based on brilliance, ingenuity and quality, Google reports. For the United States, Google has published a different overview than our own region. If you want to see the US review, you can do so here.

In our region, Google is excited about the app Goodnotes. This app lets you take notes, organise documents and capture your ideas. All with the help of AI. In addition, the service works with multiple operating systems, allowing you to access your notes anywhere. Another app that is appreciated is Daily Planner for getting an overview of your tasks, planning and reflections. Luminar is a popular photo editor, so you can get even more out of your photos. The list also includes Nintendo Today, OnSkin (for make-up ingredient checkers), Japanese trekking app Yamap and Fit Path with women's health exercises. CoinSnap is also included in the list, as is Podimo.
Google's full overview, including the Google Play Awards can be found here. There you can also see which games are highlighted by Google. It is also available via the Google Play Store app. Interestingly, by the way, not every app is rated equally well by users.
