Google Play Store search results now treasure quality above all else
What does this mean for developers and Android users alike? It means higher quality apps will surface in the Google Play Store more than similar apps of lower quality. If you're a developer and your app receives many negative reviews due to excessive battery usage, slow render times, and crashes, the chances are that it won't appear in Google Play Store results as before.
Google Play strives to help people find and discover safe, high quality, useful, and relevant apps. By focusing on the quality and performance of your app, you'll find more success on Google Play.
The changes are also meant to persuade developers to use Google vital tools in the Play Console Dashboard, which provides devs with reports on performance issues, as well as test results that will help them discover issues before releasing new updates for their apps.
