If Play Store allows to mark the app as incompatible with specific models, that might be the best recourse―since the app can't function properly on those phones

If Play Store allows to mark the app as incompatible with specific models, that might be the best recourse―since the app can't function properly on those phones anyway.
- noxToken 8y agoIsn't that basically a death knell - especially if you're not a top 10/50/100 app - when trying to reach customers? If you wait until the customer has downloaded your app, you'll probably have better retention. If you mark your app as incompatible, people won't even bother to install even though there could be a work around. You'd basically be trying to send a message to users about device manufacturers and the Android operating system while killing your own numbers.
- Nullabillity 8y agoNot even that: marking it as incompatible will render the app listing invisible for those devices (in both top lists and searches), and if you do reach the listing directly then the install button will be disabled. Pulling the nuclear option for something with clear workarounds (or which only impacts peripheral features) is unacceptable.
