- Listing your name as the developer of the app and providing your contact information.
- Using colors and images that are similar to those that you’ve used for other apps in your store.
- Using copyright material that you obtained documented permission to use.
- Including unattributed or anonymous user testimonials about your app.
The correct answer is: Including unattributed or anonymous user testimonials about your app.
Here’s why:
- Google Play Policy: Google Play’s metadata policy explicitly prohibits the inclusion of unattributed or anonymous user testimonials in app descriptions. This is to prevent developers from potentially misleading users with fabricated reviews or endorsements.
Other Options:
- Listing your name as the developer and providing contact information is a standard and required practice.
- Using similar colors and images for branding across your apps is generally acceptable and can help with brand recognition.
- Using copyrighted material with proper authorization is allowed, as long as you have documented permission and follow the necessary guidelines.
The main chapter where this is discussed is Chapter Name – Comply with Google Play store listing policies. The section on “Metadata” specifically mentions that unattributed or anonymous user testimonials are not allowed in app descriptions.
