Hi All,
I have an android app called Park+ (it is a car parking app in India). My app is not ranking on google even on its brand name my website is. I did some research and applied deep linking to the app and website. Still, the app is not ranking. has anyone tried App indexing on google and what all is required to do beyond deep linking?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I have reached all the possible google literature available and have even reached out to John muller for the same, and his response too was he doesn't know.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I write on a little gps/google maps tool which I use for my running sport (something like MyTracks). Today Google anounced that the usage of the Google Maps API will cost when you are above a daily limit -> http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2011/10/introduction-of-usage-limits-to-maps.html
In this blog and in the faq they are writing of websites and applications. Are applications = android applications? If this is true than it will be difficult to write a freeware app which uses Google Maps because the more users will be using this app the more you will pay. Even with a paid app you cant cover all the costs because you only get a one time a payment from a user but if your app exceeds the limits you have to pay google on a daily basis.
I hope I just missunderstood this blog post or the Google Maps API within Android isn't affected.
What do you think?
Seems unlikely that an Android app (assuming counted by a single app usage, not by everyone using the app at any given time) could exceed 25,000 map loads per day, but then I've never counted map loads... if that is a possiblity, then this is really going to suck the wind out of google maps!
Then again, I've always wondered when Google was going to start charging for services that have become exceedingly popular.
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums
Moving to Q&A
Huh lufc,
why do you move this thread? The normal user don't have a problem if the developer have to pay or not. It's only a developer thing/problem, imho. But ok, it's your decision.
hi there forgive me if i have posted this in wrong section,
i am looking for an app that will give me location history, i know there are plenty of apps out there like Google latitude, find my friend but what I was looking is, it will show me what locations they have been to because
i run a small leaflet business where i send people to distribute leaflets to doors but i think few of my employees are lying, as they take work phone with them i want to install such an app that will save their location and show me which area they have been to. i tried google latitude but it only shows where they are in real time. haven't found any app that will give me their location history which i can have look later in the day to check if they have done their job properly.
i hope someone understands me and advice me if there is any app that i can use.
thanks

Hello XDA Members. Nice to post my question.
I create a Quiz app for a TV show but if I publish the app on the play store, I'm afraid from Google will ban my account. I'm not sure but i heard if you are using a name of a show it's illegal and against the play store policy as publisher.
But from my point of view I saw many apps for this show and until now those apps still online on the Google Play store.
Anyway, if you have knowledge or an experience. Please reply :good:.

I think you have to contact to show right owner, and ask about possibility of streaming their show in you apps. Google Play can ban your app if your app will violate copyrights.

I'm not streaming the show on my app. It's just a simple Q & A app (Quiz App). I'm not streaming anything.
My app named iFreeMovies is a simple list of youtube movies. It's not a playlist, it's searches the movies that orders in a list and you can watch them in youtube player api v3. Using an open source imdb api you can also get some informations in a webview. Unfortunately today I get this mail:
REASON FOR REMOVAL: Violation of the intellectual property and impersonation or deceptive behavior provisions of the Content Policy. Please refer to the IP infringement and impersonation policy help article for more information.
Your app and/or elements of its listing on Google Play, including title, description, logo(s), or promotional screenshots must not include unauthorized usage of protected works belonging to a third party.

I don't understand. So since I'm not an expert developer, in order to learn, I would like that someone clarify me what's happened. In particular my great question is: What's the reason? The logo, the name, the company name ( I wrote Tuxmind as nickname) .
Help me to figure out, please!
I'm betting it's either you using YouTube images or the name. Apple has a habit of pulling this with alot of inames
I use YouTube thumbnails in the list. It's a possibility offered by YouTube api v3. So Could I change the name from ifree movies to free movies and solve the problem? But I will loose my users. Sigh!

Well I'll be honest. The title free movies is miss leading. All your app does is give you a list of YouTube videos. The name implies they could download those movies which is illegal.
Thank you for your answer. Then Free streaming movies or Free Underground Movies... Or something Like that you can't refer to download some Giles. Isn't it?

See your app doesnt do any of that. It doesnt stream movies, and it still implys that you can get movies for free.
Your better off with something like Youtube list or something along those lines.
Watch Movies Tube?

Using a name that is similar to any other brand would get suspended. For example "iFreeMovies" imitates the Apple brand; "Youtube List" or "Watch Movies Tube" would imitate the YouTube Brand.
Hello
I'm not a developer but I'm in the process of creating specifications to find a freelance developer to create an app that will be on the Play Store. =)
I'd like to have your insight to see if my application is "possible" regarding the compatibility of various smartphones under Android BUT ALSO regarding the rules imposed by Google for an application to be available on the Play Store.
I want to make an app where you enter the URL of a website, the app will crawl (background task) the site that can have 10,000 pages for example. And the app checks if there are dead links on the site (404 pages, sites that are no longer available etc.).
The app must therefore visit all the pages of the site entered by the app user, with his IP and from his device. It must make all these requests in the background throughout the day.
Does this seem possible ?
Does this sound acceptable to the Play Store rules ?
Do you think it's feasible on the vast majority of Android smartphone models in the world (Nokia, Oppo, Samsung...) ?
Thanks a lot for your help anyway
