Google Play has been offering very interesting new features for several months, such as the new download manager. Now it's the same thing to inform the user of the application they are about to install does not meet the minimum quality standard for use on a mobile device.
Measures like this are very important because a store like The Play Store can have millions of appsso it sometimes becomes difficult to discern whether an app, even with a normal rating, may be appropriate for a certain use or experience.
Is a battle that Google has been engaged in for some time and now one of its solutions is that the user receives a notification asking them to stop installing the application or simply uninstall it. What is interesting about this new experience is that the user can read three types of messages.
Android Authority found these warning messages in a recent version of the Play Store app (version 43.7.19-31) for all apps that Google “understands” are not recommended for installation. Do these three notice To understand why it is recommended not to install it:
- This app is frequently uninstalled compared to other similar apps on the Play Store.
- Play does not have enough usage data for this app.
- This app has few active users compared to others on the Play Store.
There is one thing to be aware of in these three types of warnings and that is that instead of appearing as a warning message that appears suddenly, will appear on the app details page. At least they will not be as intrusive and will be a recommendation to learn a little more about this unknown application that the user was about to install.
It's true that you are alert They can be a small obstacle for the independent developer who is looking to make their way with an innovative application, but for the rest of the applications that tend to be uninstalled in a few minutes, it will be of great help so that the user knows that it is a application which is usually quickly deleted from the internal system. mobile memory.
Another of Google Play's steps to improve the experience and thus know how to discern at the last moment If this rangefinder is the right one so as not to have to go through several advertisements before the main screen and then many others to use the application; and yes, there are many apps that work like that.
