Google Android Market wishlist

Filed under: google android — Tags: , — August 19, 2010

A discussion about the length of the description field in the Android Market over at Android Developers has led me to think about which features I’d actually like to be implemented in the market, so here’s my wishlist.

  • A changelog.
  • A way for developer to respond to comments (some comments are about bugs and if bug is fixed, would be nice to respond to that comment for example).
  • Tagging (having to choose one category can be limiting).
  • A technical note (where the developer could add any technical detail useful for user, for example known hardware issues).

Based on the current discussion, it seems that many developers want a longer description field, some have suggested using a “read more” option so the market layout could be maintained but the user has got the option to read past the first 325 characters (current limit of the description field). Other developers see a longer description field as a quick short-term fix while Google works on implementing more complicated features. What’s your take on this? What is your Google Android Market wishlist?
