Google Play’s Android Excellence collections highlight the quarter’s best apps and games

Google today launched Android Excellence, a new Google Play program that showcases the highest quality Android apps and games of the quarter. The company picks the winners based on user experience, use of Google’s best practices, great design, technical performance, localization, and device optimization.

The goal here is twofold. For users, Google is simply offering yet another way to help them find great apps and games. For developers, it’s a form of recognizing work that goes beyond building a basic app or game.
