CALIFORNIA: Search engine giant Google has decided to crack down on the apps that don’t deliver smooth user experience.

According to a Google official, the company will penalize such apps by demoting them in its search rankings.

“Essentially, apps that have poor reviews and have a history of bad performance will not show up on top of the search results on Play Store. This will further push these apps down in the ratings,” the official said.

The decision is believed to be part of Google’s efforts to push high-quality applications on its platform.

Earlier, the tech giant announced that faulty apps will be identified using Machine Learning technique, apart from creating a program called ‘Android Excellence’, which will segregate the apps that function well.
