Google play changes algorithm to penalize bad apps

Google Play continues to bring more changes. After introducing its new tool to increase security and avoid malicious applications, the Google store is now looking to fight against bad applications. An attempt to fight against the enormous amount of games and applications of dubious quality.

Google Play changes algorithm to penalize bad apps

Everyone looking for games or applications knows that many of the available options are not good. Google seems to have noticed as well and they are looking to end that. And they will begin to penalize this type of applications.

New search algorithm

That is why, from now on when we do a search, those quality applications and games will take precedence and come out before all those of dubious quality. To achieve this, a new algorithm has been introduced. Thanks to this, evaluations are no longer only taken into account. Grades will also be considered. In fact, the latter will take precedence.

Now, in each search, the best applications will come out first. To determine which ones are better, Google has relied on various criteria. Among them the performance they offer or the consumption of resources. Thus, it will be possible to decide in a fair and efficient way which is better and which is worse.

This measure seeks to reduce the presence of poor quality applications on Google Play. Or at least get developers to get their head on it and build better apps. We hope that this initiative works correctly and that the user benefits from it. What do you think about this new measure?
