I'm in no way connected with Google, so this is my purely personal opinion.
They will have hundreds or thousands of applications to judge within a short time. They don't appear to have ample staff resources. So each application won't get too much time. Therefore, the first impression they get from an app will probably be important. I guess they will be in a similar situation to an end customer who will be selecting software. If it makes a good impression during the first few seconds and minutes, it will get a positive response. For me, this means that the main features of the app have to work well. After all, the deliverable is a piece of software, not a set of powerpoint slides. Someone who plays with the software should be able not only to use, but to like it. On the other hand, they won't have the time to follow each trail in our software. So, any feature that won't be searched for during, say, the first hour of using the stuff, will probably go undetected. Anyway, the prize money is supposed to enable us to continue developing, so completeness is a relative term anyway.
