Android Call To Arms: Help Improve the Android Market with Better Categories
A member on Reddit by the name of BugNinja has brought to light an issue that’s fast becoming a problem on the Android Market and is asking users everywhere to help.
The problem? Apparently the Android Market place is in bad need of better and more app categories for gaming apps. As gaming becomes bigger and bigger on the Android platform, its time for the categories list to expand as well. The current small list of genres is causing some Android developers to miscategorize their apps. This is actually making it generally difficult to stumble upon new and great games when browsing through the Market by your favorite categories. I’ve experienced this firsthand while trying to browse through the Market for RPG’s and noticed a complete absence of the category altogether.
So what’s the good news? Well, a Google employee has already responded and acknowledged the issue but- if we can make more of a ruckus, I think we can make it a bigger priority to Google’s Android Market team.
What can you do to help? Simply hit up the link supplied here, and chime in by leaving a comment that you feel like this is an issue that needs to be addressed. If we can’t make the world a better place, lets at least start with the Android Market.
Andro-bots…. roll out.
