App Store 2.0: From Crowd Information to Actionable Feedback in Mobile Ecosystems
This addresses the need for better app quality for users and vendors in mobile ecosystems, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing crowdsourcing concepts.
The paper tackles the problem of improving user experience in competitive mobile app ecosystems by proposing APP STORE 2.0, a visionary app store that uses crowdsourced data to enhance app quality, though no concrete results or numbers are provided.
Given the increasing competition in mobile app ecosystems, improving the experience of users has become a major goal for app vendors. This article introduces a visionary app store, called APP STORE 2.0, which exploits crowdsourced information about apps, devices and users to increase the overall quality of the delivered mobile apps. We sketch a blueprint architecture of the envisioned app stores and discuss the different kinds of actionable feedbacks that app stores can generate using crowdsourced information.
