Their filtering mechanism is generally infeasable too.
here's why (snark):
"Apps that only work offline.."
That's not so easy, and neither is the myriad of other attributes of any particular app. Right now tags and the title of the app contribute to the app search criteria (not the description).
They're suggesting that every app (including 250,000 existing) fill out a survey on the specifics of what it does so that people can search via that attribute? This is their simple solution to the problem?
- nlogn 16y agoMobile app developers already do fill out a survey on the specifics on what their apps do: they're called app store/market descriptions. I believe the author meant that these descriptions should be indexed as well.
- pwim 16y agoAndroid already indicates things like whether the app requires network connectivity. I've never submitted an android application, but it should be possible to determine whether an application uses network connectivity based on code analysis.
