• Google Play Store is testing a new minimal design for app listings for certain core system apps.
• These new listings show only basic information about the app and remove feedback mechanisms.
• This could be a way to prevent review bombing of system apps that users don’t fully comprehend.

The Google Play Store is home to millions of apps, games, and other content, and Google is constantly experimenting with features and UI changes to better serve users and developers alike. Over the years, app listing pages have gained features to increase the probability of users trusting a new app and downloading it. Curiously, one recent change to the Play Store removes features from them instead of adding them. Despite the feature regression, this change to app listings could help save some apps from being unfairly review-bombed by ignorant users.
