Google Play Store is testing a new minimal design for app listings for core system apps that could prevent review bombing. Check it out!
Why? Are they doing badly? They’re doing badly, aren’t they?
People review all the system apps as 1 star because they don’t know where they came from, what they do, or why they’re installed
(First 2 out of 3 reviews the playstore shows me first for Android System WebView, which admittedly is a bad example because it has a 4.2 rating)
That’s fair but I’m not sure why those types of system maintenance apps are reviewable. I was more talking about the changes to their suite of productivity apps (mail, calendar, chrome etc) that basically can’t be deleted.
I think that’s an education problem more than a review problem.
To the average user, those are unknown apps. I’d be upset to if my phone was auto downloading crap, especially the ones like AR that sound extra useless.
Having play store deliver updates is a great idea. Lumping them together with everything else is apparently not. There could be a separate “system updates” section to separate them.
Honestly not against it. Reviews are useless for these system core apps. But the descriptions should include some useful info on what this specific app does instead of just being two lines rewording the app’s title.
Who cares
