Apple released its Best of 2014<\/a> list of apps, games, movies and TV shows this week and now it\u2019s Google\u2019s turn. The two lists are very different since Apple curated their list while Google just looked at the download numbers<\/strong> for its apps, movies, and shows.<\/p>\n

Google split its top apps of 2014 into eight categories<\/strong> so there\u2019s an eclectic group. Duolingo<\/a> wins for the education category. Facebook<\/a>, of course, wins for the Social category. Pandora<\/a> remains victorious over the hugely popular Spotify<\/a> app because of its intelligent radio stations<\/a>. Netflix<\/a> is also unsurprisingly the most downloaded entertainment app of the year. TripAdvisor<\/a> wins for the most downloaded Travel app.<\/p>\n

There were a couple of surprising apps that I haven\u2019t heard about before in this list. Flipagram<\/a> wins in the Photography category. The app lets you create short videos<\/strong> and send photos and music to your friends. The app looks like an Instagram<\/a> clone but with more features. MyFitnessPal<\/a> wins in the Health & Fitness category for its in-depth fitness tracking features. It\u2019s free but ad supported.<\/p>\n

For games, King\u2019s Candy Crush Saga<\/a> was the most downloaded. Don\u2019t Tap The White Tile<\/a>, an addictive game where you tap only black tiles as quickly as possible takes runner up. More free-to-play<\/strong> titles like Farm Heroes Saga<\/a>, Subway Surfers<\/a>, and Clash of Clans<\/a> made the list. Apparently Android users don\u2019t like paying for games since these are all free titles with in-app purchases.<\/p>\n
