Not all apps and games work equally well on all mobiles. What works well in a high-end mobile can get stuck in an entry-level mobile, but there can also be occasional crashes. Google takes note of these failures and has already started to warn us in its store before installing us an application that could malfunction on our mobile.
Last year, Google started cracking down on low-quality, crashing apps. These reduce your visibility in store, but also if you lock yourself too much in a particular model, a note is indicated before installing it which tells us that “reports from similar devices show that this app may not work properly on your device”. The reviews have already started coming in.
Warning, do not install this application
Google measures the performance of Android applications with quality constants. One of these indicators is blocking percentagedata to which developers have access to be able to correct errors, whether global or with specific mobiles.
Since November 30, Google has set certain limits. If an app crashes at more than 1.09% across all devices, it loses visibility on Google Play. Besides, when stuck in more than 8% of a specific mobilewe are warned before downloading it from Google Play, even though the average number of crashes among all Android phones is less than 1.09%.
Some users report that Google Play tells them that “recent data from similar devices indicates that this app may stop working on your device.”
I’ve never seen this before, so I think it might be relatively new.

The measure is recent, so we had not yet encountered these notices, but the reports have started to flourish these days, when many users encounter this message before downloading an app or play from Google Play. It is displayed in red, under the button install.
Always keep on going be able to download the application anyway, the message just serves as a warning to somewhat ease your frustration later. Who warns is not a traitor and Google Play has started warning and pointing fingers, so that developers pull themselves together when it comes to fixing errors.
