The NEW Google Play Store APP is a DEPROVEMENT

 

Maybe on a 10 tablet it would be better, but on my Galaxy Nexus phone, the "pretty" new "Google Now" look gets directly between me and locating Apps I might want to try.

 

For sure, makes the AAA App reviews more valuable, because the way the Play Store is set up now it is even more difficult than before the remodel to discover Apps without third party reviews.

 

Seriously, if you're a Developer (or a mere user) the Google Play store does not serve your interests.  Then, neither does Apple's iOS Store.  Apple works especially hard to be able to use "recommendations" to reward (or punish) iOS developers.  While I have no idea Google is doing that here, they're sure not making it easy to search out an App a user might want.  It looks just erratic.  But, hey, in the world of Appification, nothing is erratic.  

 

Now just why is that Windows Launcher up there with the Android stalwarts ? ? ? 

 

We're all being gamed . . .

Jesse Christophel That APP has 10 reviews on Google Play and the "install graph" shows it is falling fast.  Total installs between 500 and 1000

 

By contrast, stalwart Go Launcher EX has 1.2 million reviews and somewhere (unknown) betwIeen 50 and 100 million total installs.

 

Sure, some folks may want a Windows 8 launcher.

 

But why that one, embedded at the top of the launchers.  That's like tossing an 8 year old Little Leaguer in to pitch the deciding game of the World Series.
