It seems Google is working on allowing the Play Store to show you a warning when you're looking into an app that could be of low quality. This warning will indicate if an app has been frequently uninstalled, has limited user data, or has few active users.
The hints about the new feature were discovered in the Play Store app version 43.7.19-31. It seems Google is working on warning messages for apps that could be low quality.This app is frequently uninstalled compared to similar apps on PlayThese warnings may be shown on the app's details page and they won't be popping up as warnings before you download it, at least judging by the initial hints.
But to me, it seems the majority of low-quality apps will meet some of these criteria. In my opinion, these warning messages in Google Play may be super useful, especially for people who are not particularly tech-savvy and tend to download random apps. Also, it's good for you to know whether or not the app you're interested in has a good record.
