Apr 30th, 2021 Whenever you think about the Play Store and the sheer number of apps that are at your disposal, it’s impossible to find them all. According to Statista, as of December 2020, there were more than 2.9 million apps on the Play Store in total. This is actually down from the 3.6 million apps that were available all the way back in March of 2018. With so many apps to choose from, there’s a lot going on when you type in a simple keyphrase to find something. Most of the time you’ll be able to quickly find the app you are looking for, but that only really works when looking for apps with a specific title. More generic app names are tougher to digest and sift through, and scummy app developers are doing everything they can to get your attention before trying to get your information or make you pay for features.
