The year 2019 is coming to an end, bad and bad. According to AppBrain, at the time of writing this article there were 2,887,84 applications published in the Google Play store. In the Xataka Android group we met to see what the best apps of the year are, a task that is not as easy as it might seem at first.
So, we'll tell you what we got out of the group, we commend the apps that have won us the most in 2019, and hopefully, by the next year, the proposals will be more or less interesting than those described here.
By brainstorming with Google Podcast
Amparo Babylon
It has been one of the best discoveries this year. I wanted an app there keep my works but that got away from the idea of a production app and I found this an interesting suggestion. Very much he focused on the idea of a personal diary, which isn't exactly what I was looking for, but its design has won me over and, although I don't use it every day, it has managed to make a place among my best apps.
This year I loved a lot of podcasts and, after trying different apps, I keep Google's suggestion. It's simple, maybe very, and that's exactly what I like. It has a very clean interface, allows me to download episodes and present them on Google Home, I don't need much.

TikTok and Google Stadia
By Laura Sacristán
In addition to being one of the best Android apps available (especially for teens), yes i take TikTok as a year use. It is true that this short video chat network was launched in 2016, but it was in 2019 that it spread like wildfire among teens around the world. Its editing tools, facial filters, stickers and real-time adverse effects have finally been able to withstand Instagram and Facebook.
Another Android app I'd like to highlight is Stadia, or anything similar, a mobile app compatible with Google's video streaming service. These types of platforms are set as the short-term future of the gaming industry, and, for all those who want to enjoy Google's proposal on the mobile screen, Stadia will be a valuable app.

Whakoom and TP Cast
By Samuel Fernández
I'm very honest with the apps I've been using for years despite all the things I try, so it's hard for me to pick the 2019 app that didn't appear in another one last year. However if I had to keep one in 2019 there would be Whakoom. In my house there is a bunch of comics and I couldn't find anything better to separate them.
In addition, you have part of the wish list to control what you will find in the future, you can scan barcodes to easily build your library and other temporary jobs for subscription users. Take me seriously: my 2019 app. It has made my life so much easier and I recommend it whenever I can.
TP Cast is one of the apps I recommend. This is the app owned by the Almighty and here you can find the audios of the great program and here are Dragons, Seriotes AXN and Cinemascopazo. Yes, you have those audios on any other podcast platform but the fact is that they are loaded with extra quality and, luckily, the feed is complete. No cuts due to size.
And since we are, I would recommend the Mario Kart Tour because it had stolen hours and hours of life and battery until I was able to get it out. One of the most addictive games of this year, if not the most. Try it or not, your choice, but don't say I didn't warn you.

Google Photos and Pocket Cast
By José García Nieto
Let's face it, when we consider that on Google Play there are 2 million apps and higher ratings, choosing a pair that matches the best is never an easy task. Personally, the best of them are Google Photos. I know that it may not look like it, but it is not only a beautiful and functional gallery, but the fact that it allows us to upload as many photos and videos as we want without losing quality has made it an important program in my day. It is also multidimensional, which is always integrated.
Another application that I consider to be the best is Pocket Casts. I listen to a few podcasts and Pocket Casts, now, the best app for it. Not only does it contain content you can think of, but there are also enticing features such as a timer (for those who listen to podcasts before bed) or an option that lets you unmute. For the past few months they have done it for free, so there are no excuses for not using it.
Finally, and although I see that it has room for improvement in terms of functionality such as black mode, my third app is WhatsApp. Yes, I know Telegrams are flexible in many ways, but WhatsApp has automatically initiated conversations, allowing me to connect with everyone at all times (except when it's New Year's Day) and simply fulfill their mission. The same mental shift is when Facebook adds advertising, when it does, but right now I'm keeping WhatsApp.

Gallery Go and Google Save
By Iván Ramírez
Google Photos is great for many things, but like a standard mobile gallery it leaves something to be desired. It seemed to be what it was until Google removed the Gallery Go manga. Gallery Go is a common and easy-to-use gallery app, in most cases what you need, especially if your mobiles are honey.
There are frustrations for mobile apps, but in the end the best notes app is the one you always have at the top. That's exactly what you get with Google Keep, it's always synced with a Google Account and is also available on PC. Google Keep started as a great app to read, but has been steadily gaining traction until the best or the best. This is the case with affiliate notes, occasional reminders or somewhere or a future integration with Google Assistant.

Dark Mode, Skit and TDT Channels
By Iván Linares
During this time of 2019 I have tried a number of new, but very common applications on my mobile phone, the ones I start installing every time I install a smartphone, remain the same for years: Twitter, Telegram and Spotify (beyond Google's predecessor, like Gmail , maps and Chrome). According to the news, I'm left with:
Black Mode It is an application that uses black mode in applications and applications. It's not perfect since the darkness of the signal depends on the system, but it works best if the cellphone maker doesn't offer black mode.
Skit. You are the program manager lets you know all phone features, features of apps and also downloads them to your mobile APK. It works great.
DTT channels. It's not available on Google Play, but that's no excuse for not installing it: although I don't watch TV on a mobile phone, I consider it an app. important for those who need access to DTT anywhere. You should download it from Apk from GitHub by Marc Vila, its developer.

Otter and MyRealFood
By Ricardo Aguilar
Otter saved me from spending more hours lost than writing conversations. To those who do not know him, is a real-time author of what a person speaks another language. This allows you to be shown in writing what the other person says, and it doesn't end here. In addition to writing, Otter also translates the text. Of course, it's not perfect, and if someone has a complaint or talks too fast, nobody saves you from having a good time trying to figure out what to say.
Although I do not accept the supernatural about such a fashionable diet, I do think MyRealFood is one of the apps of the year. Why? To start, with great community back. The cooking group (which I watch the most) has over 140,000 people, sharing its best intentions for its outstanding cooking. This section took me out to the cocoa breakfast of cookies, there is a whole different world. Also With the application we do not know what to eat good or small food. Like I said, I don't like to worry too much, but it's easy to know what we're eating, because sometimes we're pretty sure we're doing it right, if not.
