how do we fix the shovelware and trash apps problem?

>rate 1* or less if possible
>uninstall

You can't without removing the illusion of whatever ecosystem being "developer friendy," but if you're really committed, I guess you could always increase the price of entry past $100

That doesn't do anything about the companies dedicated to producing only shovelware, just individual developers

There's also the option of requiring every developer to submit a list of "feature points" and refuse to release any but the first with that exact feature set

As long as Google/Apple are making money off these shitty apps, they'll keep letting them on the store.

They pay pennies for hundreds of fake reviews.

use a proper OS like debian

Why would someone BUY a trash app?

Simple. Only download apps without Google's ads

People are fucking stupid.

>OH IT HAS 300 5* RATINGS AND THE FREE ONE ONLY HAS 50 RATINGS WITH A 3.5* AVERAGE!!

Meanwhile, the one with more reviews was made by Sandeep and mayne 10% of the reviews are real. It has 100,000 downloads.

The other app has mixed reviews but the developer responds to critical reviews and fixes bugs. It has 500 downloads.

the problem in the windows store is even more dramatic

you have Free+ apps
>+: in-app purchases

but they don't tell you what is all about, what type of purchases there are, if the app includes banners...

it is a blind bet. install, see the banners or the disabled features, uninstall

it is pretty shitty

Could try either a vanilla install of Windows or something like this: http://www.revouninstaller.com/
