Google is putting the clamp on low-effort apps in the Play Store. Apps that don’t offer basic functionality or quality may be removed.

    Did you miss the “most” keyword? Also, what is their definition of a “text-only” app? What devices are they using for the “don’t install or load” check? When is something called “unresponsive”?

    There are so many ways to trigger false positives on any check google introduces. Their way of handling developers who don’t understand why they have their app pulled is by giving a blanket “violates the rules” remark.

    I imagine SD card reliant apps, apps where a server is down, apps with specific time based information in text on start, apps calculating a lot of data etc. all potential victims.
