Boosting Performance Through App Quality Improvements
summary
Claims concrete gains: apps that move from average to good quality see up to 7x retention and up to 6x spending, and Play now uses Android Vitals metrics (no SDK required) in ranking. Vitals surfaces ANRs (flagged when ANR >5%), crash-free/ANR-free rates, stuck partial wake locks (cause ~30% of battery drain incidents), wakeups (bad at ≥10/hour), slow frames (>16 ms for 50% of frames) and frozen frames (>700 ms), plus Play Console drilldowns to device, OS and build for prioritizing fixes.
