News: The Google Play Store Has a New Way to Discover Great AppsIf You Can Find It
There are so many great apps in the Google Play Store that it's become the number one app marketplace in the world.Here at Gadget Hacks we love apps and were excited to hear that the Google Play Store held an awards ceremony to celebrate some of the best apps of the year. But good luck finding any mention of it within the Play Store itself—some people aren't seeing the awards promoted.Apparently Google deemed my phone worthy enough to get a "Google Play Awards" winners subsection on the Play Store front page, but even then, I had to do some scrolling before I found it. A few of my colleagues, and probably many others, saw no mention of the winners anywhere on the Play Store app. If you're not seeing it on your phone yet, you can see the nominees here and check out the winners here.Frustratingly, Google didn't organize the winners or nominees at all, so you can't really tell which app was nominated for which category, or what the categories even were. That's where we come in—check out the winners and nominees in each category below.
