It sounds like you're determined and self motivated, you're off to a great start! Nice work on getting downloads with your Android apps!
Since you seem to have a lot of front end and app knowledge, personally I might suggest getting more familiar with back-end as a service technologies like Firebase, etc. You could then create apps/web-apps that scale without knowing loads of back-end architecture practices.
To get a good spot in a next company, practice explaining your accomplishments to date succinctly, meet people, apply to multiple companies and get multiple offers lined up.
