Hi, I've never played around with keywords but I have to admit I tend to see huge difference in Google Maps keywords and the application in question here. For me the latter list seems more of a list of synonyms. -- H On Sep 23, 2012 11:48 PM, FiltrSoft kri...@gmail.com wrote: lol, it's do as I

Hi, I'd like to see application that required the whole dictionary as keywords to explain it. Otherwise I see keywords were something you need to find a few good ones only. But as said, I'm not familiar with how keywords affect searches and it's best I end this discussion on my behalf here. -- H

Market searches are pretty weird, even if you don't consider additional keywords. My pet peeve: trying to find, by name, an app that happens to support themes results in an endless list of Britney Spears Theme for App Name Pro and the like... The app itself is then buried somewhere on the

Look, you can take out that keyword list or watch your app be removed. Just because others, including Google Maps, does it, doesn't make it right. Play Store is cracking down on infringements of their terms and it's just your turn to be put in the cross hairs. It's really about time something
