Official recommendations are the deadliest.
Following Apple’s annual featured application launch, Google editions of Internet tools and entertainment guides are also here. Compared with Apple, Google has a wider selection of projects. In addition to games and applications, it also includes movies, TV shows, e-books and audiobooks.
In the selection process, Apple “has the final say”. The list has a strong “Apple color” and upholds its own aesthetic style. Google refers to its user base as a judge, and is closer to Google Play users, and fans can vote for their favorite products.
The best app of 2019, which is officially selected by Google, is Ablo, an international social tool. It has a built-in translator, which can translate users’ text chats and video calls in real time. Users can download and use them for free. The software provides paid products. The price range is from 1.99 to 199.99 USD, but from the perspective of user evaluation, there are also problems of poor stability and inaccurate translation.

Although you choose to publish your annual app on the front and back, Apple and Google are still very different in style.
Apple’s uniqueness lies in the segmentation of products through hardware devices, “soft and hard” to build Apple’s application ecosystem. Whether it is a game or an app, a mobile iPhone, iPad, or a Mac or Apple TV, there are corresponding best products. At the same time, Apple Arcade was listed separately, and NO.1 of this online game subscription platform was selected.
Google did not highlight the importance of hardware, but chose to focus on the characteristics of the product itself. As for application products and game products, the former is subdivided into life steward, self-improvement, entertainment, Potential category, the latter is divided into combat category, independent production category, leisure category, the most innovative category.
But the two head products launched are also the same: one is the emphasis on “social” and the other is “self-expression.” Apple’s best mobile app of the year “Spectre Camera” (Spectre Camera) is an AI-based camera software with long-time exposure function, priced at $ 2. The best mobile game of the year is “Sky: Children of the Light”.The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson)
