Not all applications and games work equally well on all mobiles. What works well in a high-end mobile can get stuck in an entry-level one, but there can also be occasional failures. Google takes good note of these failures and has already started to notify us in its store before we install an app that could work badly on our mobile.
Last year Google began to crack down on low-quality apps, those that crash. These reduce your visibility in the store, but also if you get too locked into a particular model, a notice is indicated before installing it which tells us that “reports from similar devices show that this app may not work correctly on your device.” The notices have already begun to arrive.
Be careful, do not install this app
Google measures how Android apps perform with quality constants. One of these indicators is the percentage of blockinga data to which developers have access to be able to correct errors, whether they are global or with specific mobiles.
Since November 30, Google puts certain limits. If an app crashes more than 1.09% on all devices, it loses visibility on Google Play. Besides, when it is blocked in more than 8% of a specific mobilewe are notified before downloading it from Google Play, even though the average number of blocks among all Android phones is less than 1.09%.
Some users are reporting that Google Play is telling them that “recent data from similar devices indicators that this app may stop working on your device.”
I haven’t seen this before, so I think it could be relatively new.

The measure is recent, so we had not yet come across these notices, but the reports have started to flourish these days, when many users are encountering this message before downloading an app or play from Google Play. It is shown in red, below the button Install.
Still go on being able to download the application anyway, so the message simply serves as a warning to somewhat lessen your frustration later. Who warns is not a traitor and Google Play has begun to warn and point fingers, so that developers get their act together when it comes to correcting errors.
