Google will now inform users on crashing apps

With a clear goal to further improve the user experience of Android devices and provide an immediate answer to those users who wonder why some apps are not working properly, Google has announced the addition of a new feature to the Google Play store.

No action is required from the user or the app developer to launch the feature, as all the work is done in the background. What is this work? The scanning of all apps and instant notification with a pop-up message that there is an update available that will potentially solve any issues the user is experiencing.

For example, consider that you attempt to open an app and the latter either doesn't open at all, or opens and crashes after a while without any warning. The usual reaction of a user is to attempt to open the app again, but as long as the situation continues it is likely that they will delete the app. All problems, however, could potentially cease to exist with an update!

The Google Play store will simultaneously check if the crashing apps continue to do the same after the available update, so that the developer is also informed that something is wrong with their code.
