Core App Quality Guidelines. App quality directly influences the long-term success of your app—in terms of installs, user rating and reviews, engagement, and user retention. Android users expect high-quality apps, even more so if they've spent money on them. This document helps you assess basic aspects of quality in your app through a compact set of core app quality criteria and associated tests. All Android apps should meet these criteria. Before publishing your app, make sure to test it against these criteria to ensure that it functions well on many devices, meets Android standards for navigation and design, and is prepared for promotional opportunities in the Google Play Store.

Your testing will go well beyond what's described here—the purpose of this document is to specify the essential characteristics of basic quality so that you can include them in your test plans. If your app is targeting tablet devices, make sure that it delivers a rich, compelling experience to your tablet customers. Functionality Google Play.
