New ways to discover great apps on Android Market
New ways to discover great apps on Android Market
We�ve seen tremendous growth in Android Market lately. With over 200,000 apps supporting over 300 Android devices, we�ve had 4.5 billion applications installed to date. But with so many apps available, how do you find the ones you really want? Whether you�re looking for the most popular apps, hot new apps, or just the very best apps available, we want to help make sure that you find what you�re looking for.
Today, we�re excited to announce 5 new features for Android Market focused on helping you find apps you�ll love.
- New top app charts - We�ve revamped our top app charts to be fresher and country-specific, so you get the most current, relevant results. We�ve also added top new free, top new paid, and top grossing lists, all right on the Android Market home page.
- Editors� Choice -
- Top Developers - We�re also recognizing those developers creating the highest quality, most popular, and most notable apps available on Android Market. They�ll get a special icon on our Android Market website, appearing wherever the developer name is shown, starting today for an initial set of over 150 developers.
- Better related apps - On the left side of an app page, you�ll now see two groups of related apps: apps frequently browsed by people who viewed this app, and apps that people tend to install alongside this app. For example, people who view ScoreMobile, my favorite sports score app, often also view other sports score apps, while those who install ScoreMobile tend to also install apps for specific sports leagues or teams. We�ll also show you related apps once you decide to install an app.
- Trending apps - Finally, we�ve added a new section to the Android Market homepage showing trending apps � those apps that are quickly growing in daily installs. Look here to stay ahead of the curve and find new apps as they get hot.
