Google has announced this year’s best Android apps, movies, TV shows, and books — at least ones that appeared in the company’s online store, Google Play.

The winners, announced Monday, include a number of big sellers, along some that Google’s staff hand-picked. There’s also a new Fan Favorite category, based on votes from Google Play customers.

The list includes categories like Best App, Most Entertaining, Best Hidden Gems, Self-Improvement, and Daily Helpers.
