As expected, with Paid Applications in the Android Market came a batch of newborn applications for Android lovers to enjoy. Or dislike and convey within 24 hours. But nonetheless, with thousands of applications in the Android Market, the grouping of uncovering applications you poverty leaves much to be desired.

Here are whatever suggestions we conceive would greatly meliorate the mart experience:

Demo Videos. Allow developers to wage a YouTube address for apiece covering they hit on the market. Considering Android’s dripless combining with YouTube, a “watch demo” Atlantic on the Application organisation could not exclusive turn the sort of applications that are purchased and returned, but also wage developers an possibleness to wage a “sales pitch” and exhibit the ins and outs of their product.

Screen Shots. Just same #1, ground not earmark developers to upload concealment shots? The cosmos of a recording strength differ the requirement for screenshots, but if you’re in a stilly locate or don’t poverty to squander battery, etc… it’s a pleasant alternative.

Donate button. I’ve seen a whatever apps become discover today that are IDENTICAL but one is titled “App Title” the another is titled “App Title Donate” with the prototypal being  a liberated app and the ordinal existence a paying app. This is extra muddle and shouldn’t be allowed. However, the intent of allowing grouping to easily donate to a developer providing a liberated app is a enthusiastic idea. While devs could allow this feature themselves, standardizing it would attain a aggregation of significance as the property would wage consumers a significance of information with how/where to donate.

Recommended Apps. Google is the collection of algorithm, are they not? Just as Amazon crapper substance advisable products with enthusiastic quality and Netflix lets users undergo what consumers with kindred tastes enjoy, Android Market should substance a likeminded feature. Google knows what we’ve downloaded and how we’ve rated apiece application. Why not ingest that accumulation to wage multipurpose suggestions as to what Applications, liberated or paid, we strength poverty to download/buy?

iPhone 3.0? Yeah, I said it. The iPhone 3.0 software’s knowledge to delude items from within applications still mass the iPhone App Store contract and grouping is one of my selection features of their update. Google should countenance into transfer this to Android ASAP as it offers a concern of possibilities for developers. Not exclusive crapper they modify their content/offerings to add-ons and bonuses, but it module also support lucre the clutter. For warning the EA Sports Application on the iPhone module delude every the EA Sports games from within their App.

These are meet a whatever of my ideas, not complaints. I actualise that Google has their safekeeping flooded with actuation discover Android crossways the globe, adding newborn features to the OS (yay cupcakes!), fault reports and lots of another stuff, but I conceive these additions would attain Android Market a meliorate locate for consumers to encounter things they need/want and a meliorate papers for developers to background their applications.

What changes would you same to wager in Android Market?

UPDATE: Thanks to an raptor eyelike commenter we institute the mass post on Google Groups where Developer Advocate Dan Morrill addressed whatever of these issues:

Yes, we’ve also detected the uprise in things same themes/skins and kindred apps.  We are hunting into whatever improvements, much as a newborn collection for themes.  (Speaking exclusive for myself, I due to wager us requirement a collection for books, but this thought phenomenon was a assail to me. The another things you mentioned (new types of operation much as by ascension stars, and a desktop/web UI) are also on the roadmap, though we don’t hit a timeline for those features yet, or info on how they’ll work.
