The biggest problem I have with current appstores is the overabundance of crappy apps vs. actual good ones. With the Proof of Attention, will you be able to rate apps on how much time people spend on it, and how much long term use they get out of it, etc?

That's a good idea. We might incorporate such a system. Blockchain-based recommendation systems have also been proposed in theoretical scientific papers: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Remo_Frey/publication/306119856_Collaborative_Filtering_on_the_Blockchain_A_Secure_Recommender_System_for_e-Commerce/links/57b2f08c08ae030fe246b851.pdf

However, for now, the protocol still doesn't include that feature. Something like that could be really useful to add in future protocol versions.

yes google let you promote what ever things you created and good apps always get behind the ones paying lots of money to them.
i would like to see apps on the basis of natural growth shown to the user.

Yeah that's the downside with playstore, those apps that are advertised usually appears first in the results even though they're not that great and not a lot of people are impressed with them. I'm glad that with this project they try to change how things works in an app market, they try to promote transparency by putting the community's opinions first before anything else which is the right way to do things, because it will be more beneficial not just to the community but also to the developers if the apps that appear first in the search list or in the market are the ones that are really outstanding and can give the community what they look for. This proof of attention feature is really helpful, with this, you can earn app coins and you can also see the apps that are being preferred by the community.
