It would be great if they added something like a “frequently uninstalled app” label. That’s much more helpful for users. But I get why Google prefers this kind of warning — it supports their ad business.
(I really want “frequently uninstalled” label for games: because games are very often 100% different than what they show or describe)
- strongpigeon 1y agoIn what way does it support their ads business?
- tlogan 1y agoBecause if a developer spends heavily on ads — especially misleading ones for games — they’ll get a lot of installs, and the warning disappears.
- Marsymars 1y agoWould hurt some utility apps though - sometimes I download an app to use for one thing, it works perfectly, and I uninstall it. (You get an automatic refund if you pay for an app and then uninstall again quickly. I've repurchased apps that I've been refunded for in this way - I don't want to punish developers who make apps that accomplish their function quickly.)
