Looking back at the year that's about to end, Google has decided to share with the world a few details that might be overlooked in the grand scheme of things.

It often happens that whenever you feel bored and take your Android smartphone to download an app or game that would turn that boredom feeling into excitement, at least for a while, you don't find what you're looking for.

Knowledge is power they say, and that's 100% accurate. Had you known which the best Android apps and games were throughout the year, you would have certainly started with those.

Well, 2016 is not over, so you still have time to argue that the top apps and games of 2016 listed by Google are well-worth their top positions, or not.
