I don’t remember when I visited Android Market Webpage last time. But today when I came to know the revamped Android Market page, I quickly decided to visit and see things first hand.
My first impression of the page was quite good. In fact, after going through featured applications and other categories, I had quite decent opinion about revamped page structure. It’s easy to scroll applications in free & paid categories. You can also see featured applications to add to your kitty.
For obvious reasons there’s no search box to find applications. I feel it’s better to search applications in ‘Market’ on your android mobile phone; then quickly download, update or uninstall applications directly.
But how good Android Developers feel about revamped page? Earlier in one of the posts, android developers showed displeasure over low number of downloads of their respective android applications, which in turn result in low revenue for them. The possible reason could be improper structure of android market which leads to discovery of applications bit difficult. In fact, when I first started using Market, I found it very cumbersome to scroll down huge list of applications and then install the better one for use. And when applications count in market increasing daily, the issue might become grave.
But how this revamped homepage structure would really make sense, when Google has some more critical issues to tackle about Android Fragmentation, is still not clear.
