Google has made an interesting addition to the Google Play Store in
Australia that we're hoping extends to more regions around the globe:
the Google Play Store now highlights apps and games that were made by
local developers in Australia. The new section is aptly named "Made in Australia", which uncovers some interesting offerings
For example, we were surprised to find out which of the apps and
games we love were made by Australian development teams, including
Pocket Casts, Jetpack Joyride, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, and Fruit
Ninja. We definitely like the idea of highlighting local developers, and
frankly, we like the idea of learning more about the developers that
make the apps we love.
As of right now, this seems like a local promotion for Australia,
because it hasn't been found in any other regional versions of the
Google Play Store. But, we'd like to see it expand, not only to
highlight local developers. It would be pretty cool to go to the U.S.
Google Play Store and see sections highlighting apps made in Australia,
France, Japan, Argentina, Kenya, and everywhere else on the globe.
Mobile is a global technology, and that should be shown off more.
