On November 30, Google published the ranking of the best Android games and applications in the Google Play store for 2022 – along with the winners in the main nominations “Best App” and “Best Game”, they also announced the leaders in user votes and individual categories.
Google agreed with users by choosing Apex Legends Mobile as the best game, but in the app votes the results were different: Google considers the best AI generator of text to images Dream from WOMBO, and users – BeReal (the same program won in a similar rating from Apple ).
