Checking Into Google Play Updates for Large Screens

The Android team has updated Google Play to highlight apps that are optimized for large screens. They’ve added checks to assess apps against the large screens app quality guidelines listed here. If an app isn’t optimized for large screens, users on large-screen devices will be notified on the app’s Play Store listing page.

They’ve also introduced large-screen-specific app ratings. Users can rate how your app works on their large-screen device.

Optimize your Android apps to make them easy to find on Google Play!
