Google has strict control over which games and apps are allowed to be available in the Google Play Store, but dubious and low-quality apps still manage to get in. Consumers are frequently tricked into downloading ill-designed or fraudulent apps that offer a bad user experience. Google is currently developing a feature for the Play Store that will notify customers when they try to download apps that are of poor quality.
After searching through Play Store version 43.7.19-31, the Android Authority team discovered mentions of warnings that could appear on the listing of apps with subpar quality. Among these cautions are notifications that an app is "frequently uninstalled compared to similar apps on Play" or that "Play has limited user data about this app."
The "This app has few active users compared to others on Play" notice appears to be displayed by the Play Store when an app has a large number of downloads but few active users.
Especially if users are on a slow connection, this should act as a warning and assist them avoid installing any poor-quality apps at all. Additionally, they will be prepared even if they decide to move forward with the installation.
Sincere developers will also profit from this since they can put in more effort to raise the caliber and user engagement of their app in order to remove the warning. Additionally, since low metrics could result in warnings showing on their listing page, it would encourage new developers to publish high-quality apps on the Play Store.
No information is provided about how Google intends to categorize apps with high uninstall rates or low engagement levels so that it can display warnings.
Numerous improvements to the Google Play Store appear to be in the works
Recently, a filter for "apps that link to external apps" was observed being tested by Google for the Play Store. Google is experimenting a lot of things, this being one of them. You can install apps more quickly thanks to another test from the firm that places the Install button to a fixed header at the top of an app's listing.
It's possible that some of these features won't be implemented because of Google's nature and the fact that they're still in the development stage. Even if they do, it can take a while before they become official.
