Google posts new batch of Android Excellence games and apps
July 26, 2025
Not all Android apps are created equal. While some apps are easy-to-use, lightweight, and beautiful, some are lacking in those same categories. That’s whyGooglecreated theAndroid Excellenceprogram: to highlight Android apps and games for their high quality, great user experience, and strong technical performance.
Today, Google released the new additions to the Android Excellence program for July 2018. As usual, there are some incredibly popular apps and games mixed in with some lesser-known properties that will likely get a big boost from this distinction.
In the apps category, we have personal finance programFortune City, which tries to turn budgeting into a fun game. We also haveThe Mindfulness Appwhich helps you get started (or continue) with practicing meditation.
As far as games go, we have the lesser-knownFlutter: Starlight(500,00o+ installs) mixed in with heavyweightShadow Fight 3(10 million+ installs). Just goes to show that popularity is not really taken into consideration when Google picks these games, but rather just how playable and high-quality they are.
