Google on Tuesday continued its trend of announcing the winners of the Google Play Best of 2021 awards in India that are dedicated to apps and games listed on Android’s official app store. The search giant named Bitclass — the app enabling cohort-based learning — as the ‘Best App of 2021′, while the battle royale game Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) has been picked as the ‘Best Game of 2021′. Google also announced the audio app Clubhouse as the Users’ Choice App of 2021 on the basis of user votes. Developed by Bengaluru-based entrepreneurs, Bitclass has been chosen as the Best App of the year in India by Google Play editors. Google said that the app indicates “the emergence of a digital learning culture in India fuelled by innovative localised solutions.” Bitclass offers a variety of online classes ranging from baking and dancing to personal finance and theatre acting. These classes are available in both free and paid versions. “In India, once again, we saw a diverse range of apps help people across the country with relevant – and often unique – solutions to their daily needs. This year, we saw a distinctive rise in e-learning, with many winners finding creative ways to help India learn a range of skills online, be it mastering a passion through celebrity-led virtual classes with FrontRow, or using AI to scale student learning outcomes with Embibe,” said Brett Bouchard, Global Head of Editorial, Google Play in a blog post. FrontRow has been titled the ‘Best App for Fun’ of 2021, while Embibe is named among this year’s ‘Best Apps for Personal Growth’.
