The ledger of Android games that earn their place

A row in the ledger means four numbers agree with each other. We take the score on the Play Store, count how many people left it, note when the developer last shipped something, and read what the free tier quietly asks for in return - ad breaks, a wait timer, a paid unlock. A game only reaches the top of a column when those four numbers point the same way, which is why the order changes when the data changes.

We sell no placement. There is no paid slot in any list, no developer can buy a position, and a friendly review does not move a single row. Where a title is excellent but exhausting, or generous but abandoned for two years, the entry says so in its first line instead of hiding it in a paragraph you will never reach.

The community notes under each entry are AI-assisted simulated reader feedback written for editorial purposes. They are not Google Play reviews and they are not real people, and every page on this site says so. The scores, the rating counts, the download figures and the update dates are the real Play Store numbers.
