Gone are the days of leaving anonymous review on the Google Play Store. Now, Google’s application store show Google+ profile photos and names on reviews, so no longer can users hide behind some made up user name. Google rolled out a similar feature on YouTube where users could opt to use their real name from Google+ when uploading videos, and now that same feature has arrived on Google Play.
That’s good news - thanks for sharing it. True - determined nasty reviewers will find their ways around it. But I guess for most people, it’ll result in more accountable reviews.
Nasty reviewers won’t care . If you feel robbed of your money, say you spent 5$ on in game credits and they never showed up( or their purchasing power was decreased by an update) you wont mind putting your name out their to vent
+1 , its slowly changing , but for now if your developing for android your lucky to break even .
Its great for promo stuff though , like if Coke wants a find coke zero game then you’ll be able to distribute it easily
Ah. You never know on these forums anymore :p. Yeah, but it still beats Windows Phone and Blackberry marketplaces. Oh, and Palm. The iOS app store has definitely proven one of the best marketplaces. When I released an app a while ago I didn’t promote it in the slightest, but people still managed to find it and it got over 1200 downloads (not many, but still pretty good for the first month).
