[android-developers] Re: ADC2: Low volume of judges
It's true that some apps will be rated lower because they don't apply to the user doing the judging. For instance I judged an app that was designed specifically for users in Paris. It was low for me on the indispensability scale as it would be for most people not in Paris. BUT if it is clear from the outset that the app does not apply to you, then you might skip it. This could lead to higher concentration of judges who say, "Ahh, an app that serves my niche!" actually scoring the app. For instance, an app named, "Find the Closest Bathroom in Paris" would probably be skipped quite a bit by people not in Paris. You might end up with 75% of the judges for that app actually being from Paris. But if the app is called "Bathroom Finder" and gives no hint that it is geographically limited, you'd get no such effect. Who knows? This is all just conjecture and guessing. The effects might balance each other out. They might not. There won't be a clear picture until Google releases some results... maybe not even then.

[android-developers] Re: ADC2: Low volume of judges
I think there is a huge number of apps submitted in this contest and sorting out the best is a huge work... that for once has been given to the users ! This is a great opportunity for us, but it also shows us that every app developer can't be the best. The notes we have to give to apps are quite clear about what a winner could be : - it has to be an original concept - it has to use the specific features of the android platforms - it has to look good - it has to be universally useful to all of the reviewers Based on this, it's quite natural that applications that are not working right, are too specifically oriented to a subset of the population (religion, geography) will get eliminated on first round. If most of reviewers skip 80% of the submitted apps, this is because they, from the beginning, would not get a good mark on the "utility" line. I have really tested maybe a dozen apps for the moment, and most of them did not reach more than 2 stars in every line, because they are not working, are one version of a concept among a hundred similar implementations, or because they don't answer MY needs. This is true for every other revewers, and it has to be like this if we really want to see emerging the real best apps. There is no place for poor apps, this is a contest for really outstanding apps that will show all the power of the android platform against the others. So, even if after this round only a dozen of apps get high rates, I think these apps will really be the ones that will deserve it and it's allright ! It might be sad for developers who spent a lot of time in coding their apps and do not get many reviews, but... hey, wake up ! this means your app is either not good enough or too specific (and this does not mean it is bad !).

[android-developers] Re: ADC2: Low volume of judges
If it doesn't work, it gets rated low. If it takes hours to set itself up (I'm looking at you local-radio-cache-app) it gets given up on and rated low. (Hours of downloads, on a link that can pull an entire ubuntu dvd in a few minutes..) Any app that goes all FC after the first page (ahem, awesome-looking monster card game list) gets low ratings.. I think the biggest two problems with the -number- of reviewers is that getting an app to actually install is a mess (I have only had one install via ADP app, and one that wouldn't install at -all- after trying half the weekend) and not that many people know it is there to begin with..

I agree. I wish the judging app allowed something like 5 apps to be queued on the phone.

That's a rather cynical view, however, one that's probably close to the mark in a lot of cases. I've been testing apps since the judging began and frankly, the judging app is slanted toward apps that can produce the desired result with little or no user interaction or understanding of what the app does. If you require the user to actually understand what you're offering, with registration and other details, you're in for a bad time in ADC2. I think it was probably less than ideal that the judging app can only work one article at a time.

I think they won't end first round until they collect enough reviews for all applications. In your scenario, the first program should appear more frequently until it gets enough reviews.

It think too many chose not to participate because of *C&D Cyanogen*. ADC2 app is now 3.5 stars, other Google apps are getting 1-star ratings as well. I think it was bad move from Google although they have the right to do it. Even Apple chose not to poke with the dev-team.

[android-developers] Re: ADC2: Low volume of judges
As a lot of ppl (including me) skip many applications, I wonder what would be an implication for judging? e.g. there are 2 programs, one got scores of 5 5 and another of 5 5 5 1. Average for the first is 5, and for the second is 4. But second got a higher score from more ppl. Which would win in this case? I cannot find an answer in the rules, may be someone has a guess?

[android-developers] Re: ADC2: Low volume of judges
I personally have skipped about 75% of the apps that have come up in my queue. Why? Because most of them are irrelevant to me. I can't be bothered to try an app which gets public transit information in Paris, tells me which direction to face when I pray, tells me when I am supposed to pray, and the list goes on. Most of the applications I have seen are poorly designed, half implemented, or even contain major bugs which make them unusable. I had one app that was simply a Hello World... of course that is not what the uploader described, so I wonder if they uploaded the wrong APK. I had another that forgot to include the one button that the application required (the one that triggered the one and only task that the application had to do). I have come across a few gems though. But overall I have been really disappointed in the showing. Note: I am judging these applications as a user only, though I suppose being a developer might color my responses a certain way. I did not get an application submitted because the bar that I set for myself was higher than the apps that won ADC1. Had I anticipated that that would not be the case for everyone else, I might have dedicated myself to an entry.

[android-developers] Re: ADC2: Low volume of judges
As my applications audio is streamed from the net, some numbers from me based on my webhost: 36 visits (80 hits) for page 1's audio. 1 visit (1 hit) for someone who made it all the way to page 17. The application has 40 pages of content - but the uninstall to continue to the next application makes it unlikely anyone would get that far. Voice definition audio: 6 visits (11 hits) for the word on the first page "Ancestral". Subsequent pages have from 1-3 hits for the definitions that are clickable. My application is a 10.75 MB behemoth though which is likely causing people to skip it (one such person even posted doing so in these forums :p). Also doesn't help that there are bugs / grammar errors in the version I submitted. Anyway - better than I expected, to be honest. Assuming the same rate, it should be rated ~360 times by the end of the challenge, which isn't bad. I'd also assume Google would begin to publicize the judging application more next week having used the initial few days as a "beta test" by more savvy developers and power users.
