What is helping—and what should change?
Priority fixes
App title wastes its keyword budget
The title uses 14 of 30 characters, leaving 16 unused. On Google Play the title is the single highest-weighted keyword field.
Recommended actionExtend the title to something like "Guardian Tales — <what people search for>" using the spare 16 characters.
Short description is far below the limit
Only 27 of 80 indexed characters are used.
Recommended actionFill the field with the two or three phrases customers actually type into the store search box.
Description looks keyword-stuffed
"https" makes up 4.8% of the description — repetition this heavy reads as keyword stuffing to users and risks store spam filters.
Recommended actionRewrite the repeated phrase into natural sentences and use variations instead.
Negative reviews go unanswered
Only 3% of the stored reviews have a developer reply. Replies lift ratings and are read by both stores as an active-listing signal.
Recommended actionReply to every 1-2 star review; many users raise their score after a reply.

What the store itself requires
Google Play rules that apply to Guardian Tales
Quoted from Google Play's own documentation, with the source for each. These are the published requirements — we report what the public listing shows against them and never assert a violation we cannot see.
Target API level 36 by 31 August 2026
Google Play requires new apps and updates to target Android 16 (API level 36) from 31 August 2026. An existing app below API 35 is only served to new users on devices running at or below its target version, so it quietly stops reaching modern phones.
What this report can see: We can see how long ago this app last shipped an update. We cannot see its target API level — that is only visible in Play Console.
Android Developers — target API level requirementsCrash and ANR thresholds affect store visibility
Google Play may reduce an app's visibility and show a warning on its listing when the user-perceived crash rate passes 1.09%, or the ANR rate passes 0.47%, on a 28-day average. The per-device-model thresholds are 8% for both — an app can look healthy overall and still be failing on one popular handset.
What this report can see: We can see what users report about crashes and device compatibility in public reviews. We cannot see the actual vitals numbers.
Android Developers — Android vitalsStore listing metadata rules
Titles are capped at 30 characters and may not use emoji, repeated special characters, ALL CAPS outside a brand name, or claims about rankings or pricing. Descriptions may not carry unattributed user testimonials or excessive keyword repetition.
What this report can see: All of this is on the public listing, so these checks are fully evidenced.
