EasyWork - Appwork

In addition to smartphones, the Android operating system runs on a wide variety of device types, from tablets to watches and even TVs. The Google Play Store is the most popular marketplace for Android apps, and now its owner has changed the functionality of the store for the better. Before downloading, users will be able to see ratings and comments on the application, which will depend on the type of device used.

If earlier reviews were combined for all versions of the software, now the user sees "personalized" ratings and reviews.

The feature has been in development since August 2021 and was supposed to appear at the beginning of this year, but Google only started rolling it out recently. "Ratings are based on recent reviews from people in your area using the same type of device as you," Google Play says.

This does not mean that the user will see a "unique" rating - the average values ​​remain the same, but the number of visible comments has changed, and it is possible to read the opinions of users of similar devices. It is expected that the innovation will have some impact on the number of downloads of the same application from different gadgets, as users will see different responses.

Earlier it was reported that the publication of reviews in the marketplace will be delayed by 24 hours for their "filtering", although developers will still have access to them immediately.
