App Store and Google Play routinely released the list of application choices in 2022. We have seen many familiar apps and some unfamiliar apps. As one of the minority authors who are most concerned about App, the authors of Pingping also have a lot to say about the list released this time and their annual App.

The year 2022 is drawing to a close. The author just takes this opportunity to talk about the annual application list of App Store and Google Play, talk about his own understanding of this list, and talk about his own annual applications and standards. Let's have a look before it's too late.

▍ Evaluate the annual application list of App Store/Google Play this year.

@ 图图图图图图 2: If we compare the annual application lists of App Store and Google Play, it is not difficult to find a very interesting phenomenon, that is, many listed applications or games appear on two platforms at the same time, and even appear on two platforms this year. The sports meeting is the same every year.

Obviously, good applications are no longer limited to a certain platform. The previous view that the quality of iOS applications is better has long been untenable. The application experience itself is less and less constrained and influenced by the platform. Of course, from another perspective, this year's list application is still a paradise for niche applications. Even if the list users choose the best application, the social application BeReal is quite trendy in gameplay, which is quite a bit of a shadow of Path.

@ Dawn Frontline Alan: After writing the list of Google Play every year, it will inevitably make people feel a little bored: because from the changes of these years, it is really difficult to find anything new at first glance, and even many of them are frequent visitors to the list for several years.

But I still read it carefully every year because the list of Google Play not only directly reflects the annual trend, but also takes into account some corner details that we usually ignore or have no time to take care of, such as Wear OS, ChromeOS and Play Pass. These new things, such as Todoist, are really frequent visitors on the list. However, this year's list is because it updated and adapted Wear OS 3.0 this year, which makes it one of the best to-do apps on Wear OS.

Therefore, in a more sense, these lists are more like an "annual review" for people like me who pay attention to the update of app every day, but if you don't pay much attention to the development trend of App or interesting App updates, I believe you can find more surprises from the list.
