Currently, about 3 million applications are published on the Play Store, making the store the largest platform of its kind in the world. In addition, new applications are regularly added to the catalogs. All this complicates the search for the ideal software product that would best suit the requirements of each individual user. But this may change soon, as Google intends to allow users to compare similar apps right inside the content store.

According to the available data, the developers have begun testing a new section of the Play Store called “Compare Apps”. It starts to be displayed if you scroll down the screen with a description of an application. The Compare Apps section shows similar products in a horizontally scrolling list. Along with the name of similar applications, some of their characteristics are displayed, making it easier for users to choose more suitable solutions. As for the output parameters, here we are talking about the rating and the number of downloads, ease of use, support for various functions, etc.
