Google has finally announced Google Play’s Best of 2025 in India, the company’s annual awards that celebrate best apps. This year’s winners are not just useful or entertaining, they are deeply local, built around Indian tastes, culture and habits. Many of them also use AI to make things easier, faster, and more fun for users.
Google has named District: Movies Events Dining as the Best App of 2025 in India, calling it the go-to social tool for urban users. The app uses AI to study each person’s likes and local trends, then suggests films, events, and places to eat nearby. On the gaming side, CookieRun India: Running Game has been chosen as the Best Game of 2025, winning over players with simple, one-touch controls.
AI is a clear theme this year. “69% of Indian users say their first interaction with AI came through an app on their Android device,” Google stated. Here’s the full list of apps and games of 2025 on Google Play in India:
