Hi,
I have a suggestion to make to Google.
I think (and I know I am not alone thinking this..) that the Quality of the
applications on the market needs to improve. Or rather, the low quality
applications needs to be filtered out.
The Big Fruit has solved this by an approval process. While this has proven
to be a good solution to increase the quality of all applications, it is
also a system that prevent many good apps from reaching an audience.
A middle ground that Google could adopt is to have a group that does
approvals on apps just like The Big Fruit, which let's apps into a special
category. Apps that have not yet been approved could however still exist,
but in the unapproved category. This "unapproved" category could work just
like the current market and thus enable the current breadth of applications,
but the "approved" category would enable people to find better apps faster,
and feel safer about the intentions of the application.
To improve first impressions phones should default to only show "Approved"
apps, but enabling non-approved apps should be easily done.
Best Regards
Anton
