As 2018 comes to a close, we bring you the Best Apps and Games of 2018. Just like every year, Google’s Play Store announced the best apps and games of 2018 across categories like most entertaining apps, best self-improvement apps, best hidden gems, most competitive games, and so on. And, for the first time ever, it added a brand new “Fan Favorite” category, giving you the chance to vote for your favorite game and app of the year. Thanks to you, “PUBG Mobile,” and “Google Pay” have been crowned as the first-ever Fan Favorites in India.   According to the Apple’s App Store, “Self-care” and “Battle Royale” were trends of the year. Self-care was the trend of the year because in 2018 we all felt the need of more “me-time”, and apps like Calm, Headspace, Shine: Self-Care & Meditation, 10 Happier: Meditation, Fabulous, Mend: Self Care For Breakups, and Joyabale made self-care more accessible than ever, expanding the practice of wellness around the world.   Thanks to the fan-following of “PUBG Mobile,” and “Fortnite”, Battle Royale was the trend of the year. Even smartphone manufacturers made sure that their new devices are compatible with these online multiplayer Battle Royale games and able to deliver the ultimate gaming experience.
