Google Play Store to Display Warnings for Low-Quality Apps

Google Play Store is rolling out a new feature to identify and warn users about low-quality apps. These alerts will help users decide whether an app is worth downloading or not.

Many users have experienced downloading an app from the Google Play Store, only to uninstall it shortly after. This often happens when the app fails to deliver what was promised in its description. Google is now testing a solution to address this issue.

App pages will now include key data such as:

• Uninstall frequency
• User reviews and data
• Number of active users

These details aim to provide better insight into the app's quality and reliability.

New Warnings in the Play Store:

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

While these warnings don’t definitively label an app as low quality, they help guide users toward smarter decisions. For instance, frequently uninstalled apps may indicate unmet expectations, while limited user data could raise concerns about reliability.
