I don’t know about the Google Play process but the App Store review process has been worthwhile. I’ve had many phone calls with them over the years detailing specific changes which need to be made to conform to policy. They are definitely not “low-level” employees but they are also not technically proficient. They are policy enforcers.
I’ve also had reviewers push for internal change on my behalf when policy seems poorly applied.
One specific example I can give is I had a link to my website in a game made for kids. They asked me to put a parental lock on tapping the link (e.g “ask your parents to enter the code” type thing). That was a really good addition.
- bouke 8y agoThat’s actually good advice, bur doesn’t appear to be applied to mist kids apps. All apps that I’ve come across have been litterd with ads placed in such a way to increase the possibility of the kid accidentally clicking on them. A dark grey UX pattern.
- interpol_p 8y agoYeah it disgusts me. My oldest is going through apps almost entirely by jumping through ads which force you to install the next "free" game. The reason Apple applied extra scrutiny to my app is because I checked the box indicating "Made for kids."
