The Google Play Store is, for most of us, the main source of applications. That’s not particularly surprising since it’s pre-installed on every Android smartphone you’re likely to get, and counts a huge selection of apps, passing 1.6 million in July.
It’s hard to have both quality and quantity with that number. There’s a lot of crud in the Play Store, but even if you ignore that, it’s no easy task to find the applications you’re interested in. While some categories and collections are available (we covered how to use those to the best apps before), looking through the top charts to discover good apps is near impossible with them being filled with games or other categories you’re not interested in.
Fortunately, the Play Store does provide some ways to further filter apps so we can browse lists we actually care about. It’s not well exposed on the website and hidden behind a few taps and swipes on the mobile app, but it’s possible to view top charts for applications only, games only, or by category. We’ve compiled a list for you to check them out:

You also can combine this with our previous article about finding the best apps with Google’s picks and other tricks to discover interesting apps you care about, new collections or even create an RSS feed to monitor additions.
