Abstract

The absence of Google Play has created a booming area for Android app distribution through third-party app stores in China. Since the study showed that the trustworthy level of app stores was fairly low in 2014, much attention should be paid on the changes of the trustworthiness of Android app stores. In this paper, we present a method to analyze the changes of trustworthiness of the top popular Android app stores in China. In this method, we evaluate the target app stores by analyzing the sampled apps hosted in them. Further more, we have used this method to track the changes of trustworthy level of Android app stores in China about two years. The results indicate that the trustworthy level of the top popular Android app stores in China has been improved 24% on average. It can be seen that the positive changes may be related to the development of the China's mobile market, the improvement of Android system, and the introduced policies. Although the trustworthy level of top popular Android app stores in China is still low, it is predicted to be improving in the future.

中国Android应用商店可信度的提升

Google Play的缺席为中国第三方应用商店的Android应用销售创造了一个蓬勃发展的领域。由于研究显示2014年应用商店的可信度水平较低，所以Android应用商店的可信度变化值得关注。在本文中，我们提出了一种分析中国最受欢迎的Android应用商店可信度变化的方法。在这种方法中，我们通过分析其中托管的抽样应用程序来评估目标应用程序商店。此外，我们用这种方法对中国Android应用商店信赖度的变化进行了大约两年的跟踪。结果表明，中国最受欢迎的Android应用商店的可信度平均提高了24%。可以看出，这些积极的变化可能与中国移动市场的发展、Android系统的完善以及政策的出台有关。尽管中国最受欢迎的Android应用商店的可信度仍然很低，但预计未来会有所改善。
