The nominees are confirmed and the voting is now open for the Best App Ever Awards for Android.

Earlier this year, the Best App Ever Awards for iOS generated more than 5 million votes, so competition is sure to be fierce across the 43 categories in this Android iteration.

Awards on offer include Most Innovative Game, Best Game Game Graphics and the prestigious Best App Ever prize.
