Providing high-quality user experience has been a trend and the top priority of companies now-a-days, in order to beat the competition of earning more and more brand-loyal users. Recently, at WWDC, Apple announced a totally revamped App Store and now Google is showing its concern about the quality and user experience at Play Store.
Well, this step of Google is worth-praising, as it will motivate the developers to improve the quality of the applications they publish on the Play Store, and will help users find the best quality applications without wasting a lot of time in trying many apps.
