Google Play Store now has Android Excellence collections

After Apple revamps the App Store, Google is kind of following in their footsteps with its new Android Excellence collections. This new program is going to highlight collections of apps that deliver “incredible user experiences on Android,” take advantage of Google’s best practices, or have “great design, technical performance, localization, or device optimization.” Google launched the collection today and split it into two groups: apps and games. You’ll be able to see these collections in the Editors’ Choice section, where the other featured apps and games are curated by Google’s editorial team.

The section seems to benefit developers more than users, though, as the apps will only be refreshed quarterly. So, if you go through all the apps and the quarter isn’t done yet, you’d have to wait. Developers are given extra exposure, though, for that length of time.
