Warning system edits Google Play Store for low-quality apps

Have you ever felt dissatisfied with the content you found and installed from the Play Store? Yes, something like this will have happened many times to each of us, but Google is working to allow the Play Store to show you a warning when you’re browsing an app that could be of low quality. This warning will indicate if an app is frequently uninstalled, has limited user data, or has few active users.

As many of you may know, there are millions of apps on the Google Play Store. So it stands to reason that some of these apps aren’t the best you can get and aren’t worth downloading. Now, the folks at Android Authority have dug into the Play Store code to find that the Play Store can warn you about such apps.

Hints about the new feature were discovered in version 43.7.19-31 of the Play Store app. It looks like Google is working on warning messages for apps that could be of low quality.

What will the relevant warnings be like? You will see messages like:

  • This app is often uninstalled compared to similar apps on Play.
  • Play has limited user data about this app.
  • This app has few active users compared to others on Play.

Also, some good apps may be downloaded for use for a specific purpose and then uninstalled as well.
