Offering a wide range of functionality and features to personalize the mobile experience, these apps appear to appeal a lot to users.
According to Google, its app store has managed to top 25 billion downloads, which is an impressive milestone, and which is being celebrated with a round of discounts for specific software.
“Whether you’re looking for directions, checking email or sharing a picture with friends, apps are now an indispensable part of life. And if you’re using Android, it all starts with Google Play, home to 675,000 apps and games,” Jamie Rosenberg, director, Digital Content, notes in a blog post.

“Twenty-five billion is more than twice the distance, in miles, that the Voyager 1 spacecraft has travelled since its launch 35 years ago,” Jamie Rosenberg continues.
“It’s the amount of time, in minutes, that have passed since some of our earliest ancestors began to set foot in Europe. And now, thanks to all of you, it’s a Google Play milestone. We look forward to the next 25 billion.”
Users interested in taking advantage of the aforementioned offer should head over to the Google Play store, either on their devices or through a desktop browser.
