Google Play Search Algorithm Issues? - App Stores

Is anyone else having issues with their app showing in the Google Play search algorithm? We search some of our apps on the exact name and they show up hundreds of results down with tons and tons of unrelated apps appearing first. Even some of our apps that have thousands of downloads are struggling. This problem has just recently occurred in the last month or two.

I ran across this post from a while back while looking into the exact same issue. Can't for life of me figure out why some of our apps have literally crashed while others are doing fine. The apps that have crashed have solid ASO, good reviews, tons of downloads, etc. yet they are being outranked by hundreds of spots by irrelevant apps.

Many Apps Not Updating!

A number of my apps are showing updates, but when I try, it says that the apps are not in the Market. I have tried the Market fix many times to no avail. It seems like the number of available Market apps is shrinking on a day to day basis. Anyone have any ideas on how to address this problem short of trying to sideload the updated apps?

google analytics - missing users

Hi Guys,
Just noticed a weird thing... I've published an app in several stores and some of them claim that it was downloaded >100 times. However - on Google Analytics for my app I see significantly less users/sessions than I would expect based on numbers from stores... Anyone has similar problem? Was just wondering - maybe it would be better to adjust somehow the dispatch time?

I'm experiencing a similar issue since I linked Google Analytics to Google Play and upgraded to V3 API version. Are you using V3 too?

In your case, a i think developer console is delayed (usually for a day). Or people download your app from other source.
Google update 2 days before, so you need to wait
Try to use other Google Analytics alternative. I think it would be better to have another to check and balance.
I have/had similar problems. I'm only providing the apps on the Google Play Store, but even there the statistic differs from the one provided by Google Analytics. But the data in the developer console is in my opinion more real than those from the analytics page
App promotion for free.
Hi, my name is Anton and I am manager in young ad company.
Now we started to work with appsflyer, and we need to setup our tracking system.
We can promote your app for free (provide you CPI and CPC traffic) if you will implement appsflyer SDK, (that will be helpful for you in future) and help our engineers to set the post-back.
Please let me know if you are interested, and we will discuss how many installs we will give you for your help.
I look forward to working with you.

There might be more than one reason. If you use one of the latest Analytics APIs, then it might not work on old devices. And some users might not have internet connection for a long period after they install the app.
It is Google

All Google services works strange sometimes

Has anyone been experiencing Google Play Store issues, i.e. cannot update apps or DL

Hello All,
Apologies if this has been addressed already. I did try to search for the issue and have found various articles outside of XDA, but none internally. Yesterday, or perhaps the day before, I noticed I was unable to update any of my apps via the Google Play Store.
I tried the basic troubleshooting steps.
Reset mobile data.
Did a clear cache and data on the Play Store app, as well as Google Play Services (this also kicked me back to an older version of play, when I go to settings and click build, it says it will install a new version of Play, i.e. the one I had prior to a Data clear, but I never get it).
Removed and re-added my google account on my phone.
Stopped short of doing a factory reset, as I am not too keen on doing so just yet.
Called Google Support (or rather, used their callback feature built into the play store app), and they were absolutely clueless. The guy literally said, there is no solution to this problem and hung up on me, sounded like the gentlemen may have been from Africa, or the call center in Africa. Whatever the case, it was clear he had absolutely no technical knowledge or ability other than reading 3 lines from a script.
In any event, has anyone else been experiencing this issue, and is there a solution and/or any insight or updates regarding this?
Thanks in advance.
Do you get any errors from Play Store while trying to update apps?
No errors, whatsoever. Just stuck on downloading. Tried it over WI-FI and it still didn't work. Then went tried a different Wi-Fi and was able to download apps and update apps again, but I still can't download or update anything over my mobile network.
At one point, I got a timeout message coded (925). Searched around for that, and none of the fixes worked (I had already tried tjose fixes anyway).
MODERATOR, please move this to the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 5 forum. Apologies. I was at work when posting this, and didn't check which forum I was in when posting. This should be addressed in the T-Mobile Note 5 forum. Thanks!!
Clear data and cache of Play Store app, then connect to VPN (change your IP address to another country), and run Play Store, see if it works or not.
Ok TAEL, I will try this and get back to you.
Found the culprit. Apparently, on the Note 5, there are fine grained settings for restricting background data for certain apps and processes. I had restricted background data for "Media", and this was the issue. Thank you for your help!
You silly guy, you.

TouchPal Emoji App Hijacking ZTE Phones With Ads?

So within the past week or so one of the apps on my phone has been causing Ads to appear on my phone regardless of where I am on my phone (home screen, various apps, etc). They just start appearing. I figured my phone was infected because I've never seen this before. I started to go on Google's playstore and search for every app on my phone and check reviews. I figured whatever app was the culprit would have tons of 1 star reviews very recently. I searched for "TouchPal Emoji" and there's all the 1 star review saying they are getting ads on their phone.
This app was added to my ZTE Axon Pro by default. I'm not sure if it can be entirely removed from the phone either. I don't see it in my app list anymore but I'm not sure if its entirely gone. Anyone else experience this?
I had this as well, and went through my apps... I suspected the Touchpal - disabled it, and saw the side icon disappear (it was asking to install a game as well as the ads) trying to remove it - it would not let me - but asked if I wanted to roll back to the original touchpal. Did that and left it disabled.

getting spam all the time on a new setup s10

hi all,
i bought a new s10 a couple of weeks ago and after setting up everything and installing all of my apps which come from the playstore I am randomly receiving spam whenever i unlock my phone or during the use of whichever app.
what happens is that either chrome or (after i have uninstalled chrome) the samsung browser came in front and opens some **** websites..
i hope someone can give me some advice/hint where to look at, before i have to resignate and start by scratch.
what i already tried, is to uninstall a lot of apps i could have imagined to be the culprit and i also installed things like airpush detector, hoping they could find something.
PS: sorry if posted this thread in the wrong section. did not know where to put at all.
thank you and regards

problem solved.
malware found and deleted.
I found this article...
What you have to do is… go to the Settings followed by Application Manager or Apps here you will find a list of all the installed apps in your android phone. So scroll downwards and you will find an Unnamed App with no thumbnail installed in your phone… most probably this app appears at the last of the list. Just uninstall this app and you are all set. All thing become normal and avoid installing apps from any of the unknown resources.
Here is the full page.
