Google has already started manually reviewing apps on Google Play
The company Google continues to improve different aspects of its services, it does not forget its application store, one of the basic pillars of the platform of smartphones and tablets with operating system Android That is why it launches some important new features trying to raise quality standards and making things a little easier for users .Although it may be a bit more difficult for developers.
Thus, soon the most concerned parents will have new elements available to identify the degree of maturity of applications and games to which they can access your children. If there were already rumors about a new way of evaluating content marking the applications with various numbers and colors according to the recommended ages, now Google has decided to marry these marks with usual regional standards. Thus, in Europe, the PEGI (Pan European Game Information or pan-European video game information) system seen in other content such as video games on large video consoles will be used : PEGI 3, PEGI 7, 12, 16 or 18 While in United States, Germany, Brazil and Australia their own standards will be used, some more restrictive than others. However, now it is up to each user to know these values and the type of content that can be inside if they have one brand or another.Games of chance, alcohol, references to drugs or sexual content”¦ Something that the number that accompanies it helps, associating it with the recommended age, although it is never extra refer to scale
But what really stands out in the new features included is a new application review system before its publication And it is that ifGoogle Play was characterized by leaving a certain amount of room for developers, for several weeks a group of people have been carrying out quality checks before a tool, game or application is published in Google Play Store A noticeable change in terms of quality level but that does not seem to be affecting the general operation of this store, since it has already been applied since several months ago without any developer having had any complaint.
Thus, Google claims that a group of expertsscreens new applications for violations of any developer guidelines before these tools are released to the general public. All of this with the goal of continuing to allow the review and evaluation process to not last more than a few hours, avoiding the problem that generally occurs in thestore Apple, where a publication can take several days even.
With all this, Google wants to improve its app store. Either extending quality measures to ensure that content reaches users optimally, or assessing content in detail that arrive in them. In any case, notable improvements that also seem not to be affecting the general operation of the system, so they are welcome by users.Now we have to waitwait for them to be applied to everyone and we can really see an increase in quality
