Wow - Google Play new approve system effects are already visible!

Hello,

Check out those stats:
Number of available Android applications - AppBrain

Effects are visible on first chart, but second chart is really more important.

I think that in following months, many apps will be reviewed (sooner or later) and google play will be cleaned.

For second chart, September’s drop was due to ad policy I guess.

March’s drop was due to semi-manual app approval.

I think on May, it will drop even further, as all the low quality/spam apps will need to answer questionnaire and get semi-manual reviewed.

Good news for quality app developer, bad news for spammers!

This is great news, less shit to compete with :wink:

Got two of the Apps removed :slight_smile: key words spam, so I edited the description and republished… it took me 2 minutes… I think that some human eyes read the descriptions - for the last 2 years there was no problem with it :slight_smile: expect more to come :slight_smile: at the end google decided to fix the play store :slight_smile:

Good. Let them clean that mess so quality apps has a better chance.

What did you do to be considered as keyword spam? Did you have a list of keywords? or something more subtle? thanks

yep, I had one sentence Tags with keywords separated by comma

Example
Tags: word1, word2, word4

I edited my description so that the words are in the description and are ok with the context.
