Google Play Store: here is the ranking of the best apps of 2021

New year and new classification. As is the tradition, the Google teams have just unveiled their selection of the best Android applications, by country and by category. In France, the public made a rather surprising choice as you can see.

While Google has just banned Wish from the Play Store after a survey conducted by the DGCCRF, the teams of the Mountain firm unveiled this Monday, November 29, 2021 the ranking of the best Android applications of the year. It should be remembered that this ranking is divided by country and by category, in fact the results may vary depending on the region. As a French media, let’s take a look at the ranking made by Google France.

The best app of 2021 according to Google France

Which app won all the votes from the French division of Google? It is Photoroom Photo Studio, a great photo editing app. Indeed, the app does wonders when it comes to transforming, retouching, improving your photos. It is particularly recommended by many professionals, who use it to make business cards, e-commerce product images, portrait photos, or images to dress up social networks such as YouTube thumbnails or Facebook pages.

As for the public choice, he turned to Salto, the mobile application of the young French streaming platform. After a timid start with 200,000 subscribers on the meter in January 2021, the service has doubled its attendance since the summer of 2021 with 400,000 subscribers according to recent reports. The fact remains that it is still far from being a strong competitor for the tenors of the genre like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Disney +.
