TL;DR
- Google might make it simpler to view Play Retailer app scores by kind issue, in response to our teardown.
- The corporate would possibly add scores on to gadget chips seen in app listings.
- This is able to save customers time and a faucet in comparison with the present methodology of viewing scores by kind issue.
The Google Play Retailer does a stable job of catering to varied kind elements as of late. We’ve acquired icons to indicate apps that help tablets and Chromebooks, and we’ve even acquired app scores for every kind issue. Now, it appears like Google will make one other small however welcome change.
An APK teardown helps predict options that will arrive on a service sooner or later based mostly on work-in-progress code. Nevertheless, it’s doable that such predicted options could not make it to a public launch.
Leaker AssembleDebug and Android Authority dug into model 41.7.16-31 of the Google Play Retailer, discovering a extra handy method to view app scores by kind issue. Try the second screenshot beneath.
Play Retailer app listings at present present chips for varied kind elements (i.e. telephone, Chromebook, pill). Customers can faucet one in all these chips to view the app score for that kind issue. Nevertheless, this newest change will see app scores displayed inside these chips — no have to faucet on them.
This can be a small however welcome tweak, saving customers a faucet and some seconds of their time. So we hope to see this modification coming to the Play Retailer sooner relatively than later.
This isn’t the one latest change we noticed within the Play Retailer. We beforehand found that the shop might mechanically open newly put in apps, whereas Google can also be engaged on one other layer of safety when putting in or updating apps.
