The end of 2021 left us, as usual, various compilations with the best applications on Google Play, the most downloaded, those that generated the most income, those with the best design … Even the ones we discovered in the Engadget Android team. Now that we have just started the year, the time has come to make new resolutions and maybe one of them is taking an Android related course.
If this is your case, here we collect a few different levels which share two rooms: they are free and in Spanish. Most of them, as you will see, are related to programming and designing applications. Who knows, maybe in a few months, one or more of your entries will sneak into the 2022 compilations.
