If you were wondering what the best reviewed Android games and apps on the web last month were, here’s the Android Quality Index (Qi) round-up for September to fill you in.
The Android Quality Index boasts over 200,000 scores from the world’s best websites, such as Life of Android, Pocket Gamer, and IGN, and uses a unique metric to create a single definitive score for each Android title.
Here are September 2013’s top selections…

Don’t let Finding Teddy’s cute name and graphics fool you. LookAtMyGame’s, err, game tops the September Android Qi game chart through some challengingly hands-off point-and-click adventuring. Following closely behind is Reaper, the latest offering from prolific Android developer Hexage. This time around, the company adds its typically fresh spin to the action-RPG genre. A little further down the charts at #7 is SimpleRockets, in which you build your own rocket ships and send them into space. EA’s FIFA 14, meanwhile, has to settle for eight place on this month’s premier league games table. In the newest iteration of EA’s long-running footy sim series, the gaming titan adds a generous freemium structure and unusual single-finger controls to the usual team and player updates.
With so much high-quality TV out there right now, an app like SeriesGuide was always bound to do well among app reviewers. This clever way to track, share, and ‘follow’ your favourite shows tops the September Android Qi app chart. The football season is in full swing around Europe, and THE Football App is proving a big hit at #3 in the Android community. Here, motain rounds up news, videos, fixtures, and results from more than 100 domestic competitions around the world. Just behind that at #4, the maker of StoryPod curates the best short films from around the web. Fans of Bjork and ambitious multimedia projects in general will want to check out Biophilia, by the way. In this app, nine of ‘Biophilia’ album’s tracks are presented as standalone multimedia experiences incorporating sound, animation, and 3D artwork. Swell.
