Google Play now offers personalized recommendations
Google continues to improve its app market so that users can users of smartphones and tablets with operating system Android If we recently commented on the new functions of the version 3.8.15, now we have to do it from one introduced in the version 3.8.17 An improvement focused on making things easier for users looking for new applications or books to installon your devices.Something that can be really useful and that we will discuss below.
This is a section of recommendations Something that we have already seen in the web version of Google Play for some time. However, it is now reaching portable devices, adjusting the theme and type of content to various aspects related to the user Something that personalizes these recommendations to a great extent, not finding two devices with the same selection of applications and games, since each user has their own characteristics, tastes and relationships.
This function can be found in two of the three sections of content that we can currently access in our country throughGoogle Play: Apps, Books and MoviesWhen clicking on any of them we see a new screen where we find the featured content, and a little further down the new section Personalized RecommendationsHere we can see applications and books, depending on the section, relevant according to various criteria.
By clicking on the title Personalized recommendations we access a list with these contents. Each one, whatever it is, presents the relationship for which it has been placed at the top of the recommendations If we have not interacted with the Books section, for example, it is possible that we will only find the text Main book However, the most veteran users will be able to see that these contents are shown as recommended because they are popular among users of an already installed application, by the number of downloads in the area or because our contacts and friends on Google+ have +1 (liked) on it.
However, there is one more criterion A more personal one, if possible. This is some kind of algorithm created by Google to determine the likes and uses of the user In this way, the list of Personalized Recommendations can be considered intelligent, showing what is closest to the user's tastes. An issue that can be improved by clicking on the prohibit button in said list, making it known that a type of application or book is not to our liking.
In short, a function that can be of help to the least learned user, finding all kinds of content with similar characteristics to those they already have and that coincides with their tastes This function does not require any type of installation or configuration by the user, since it comes standard on the version 3.8.17 from Google Play This version is updates automatically on all devices Android , so the user only needs to run Google Play to access this feature.
