Google Updates Play Store Rating System, Here Are The Details

Info

Google announced changes to the calculation and display of rankings for a Play Store app on Monday earlier this week.

Google plans, app ratings on the Play Store will be divided by a special rating based on the country where the device is registered, as well as the factor of the device used.

Quoted from The Verge, Thursday (26/8/2021), this is done in exchange for one rating for all applications on the Play Store, which may be affected by various things such as the device used.

"We've heard from users and developers on the Play Store that ratings and reviews can be more helpful," they said, citing 9to5google.

By Country

Google revealed the plans for this change. The first is that not every app offers the same features or functionality in different regions due to a country rule or universal rule.

"Like when a bug that only affects one country negatively impacts app rankings everywhere," Google said.

Google said it believed that "overall ratings don't always tell the whole story."

Therefore later, the review rating will specifically be based on where the user's Play Store account is registered.

"So users in Japan will see app ratings generated from Japanese user submissions," they said.

By Device Shape

Also, some apps may run worse or better on certain devices. This of course will ignore the experience of other users.

For example, permainan togel online terbaik when you download an app on your tablet, it may not run as well as when you use it on your phone.

This is what underlies Google to create a rating system based on the device type factor.

They say this "gives users a better impression of the experience they can expect for the device they are using."

Google plans to roll out rankings by country in November 2021. Meanwhile, custom rankings based on new device factors will roll out in 2022.

Google will also notify app developers about significant ranking changes as a result of this update.
