These are Google Play's best apps, games, and movies of 2017
Google has published its Best of 2017 list, highlighting the most popular apps, games, movies, books, and songs of the year. Pic Tools' Photo Editor turned out to be the most popular app of 2017, followed by weather forecast app What The Forecast?!! and Cartoon Network's Boomerang service.
Game of Thrones is once again the most popular TV show on Google Play (for obvious reasons), followed by Rick and Morty and The Walking Dead. Kendrick Lamar's single HUMBLE edged out Ed Sheeran's Shape of You to claim the top spot in the music category, and last year's animated hit Moana beat out Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in movies.
