After hundreds of hours of testing, we are ready to announce the results of the Android Coding Contest.

Performance of the apps, measured on some popular devices, was an important factor that defined most of the winners. Other criteria taken into account were the completion of the bonus goal and conformity to the design guidelines. Slick animations and nice UI touches were also welcome.

We carefully looked through every issue reported on the platform. Our judges have upvoted or reposted some of the issues that we considered critical. As a result of this evaluation, we are excited to award 23 developers:

Congratulations to all the winners – and many thanks to all the participants and testers 🎊

Coding for the fragmented Android platform is challenging, and I'm surprised by the number of high quality apps we've received. Even the apps that we had to discard due to high competition would qualify as great work by most employers 👏🏾

We hope all the participants had fun and were able to learn new coding techniques.
