  1. Why is there a scam app being allowed into Microsoft Store?


    I bought a new laptop and wanted to transfer my apps and files, from my old hp laptop, to the new one. So, I went online searching what are the ways available for doing this. I came across EaseUS Todo PCTrans an software to make transfer between PCs, but then I was worried if it is trustable to use as it is not a product that is put on shelf in Mircrosoft Store. [ People always say that the safest way of downloading apps is from Microsoft Store, not other unknown platforms. Hence, I clicked into the Microsoft Store and look for apps that could do transfer and I found this app called PC to PC

    Why is there a scam app being allowed into Microsoft Store?

    Microsoft is purging a lot of low quality apps from the Windows Store

    "Microsoft is sending emails to some Windows Store developers informing them that their apps have been removed from the Store for violating its quality standards."

    "Neowin reports that app developers have been receiving these emails over the past couple of days:

    In its latest review of the Store, Microsoft is evaluating if the published apps are good enough to be listed in the Windows Store. This includes publicly available apps as well as private beta apps. Additionally, Microsoft is also asking developers to delete any promotional campaigns for their apps to prevent advertising charges. Similarly, app name reservations are also being nullified; which means that if your app is unpublished, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to republish it under the same name.

    Officially, the policies for the Microsoft Store says that apps must have "distinct and informative metadata" and "provide a valuable and quality user experience". There are also some specific standards that must be in the apps, including having a name that is not similar to another app or device, along with offering a description that is accurate about its features and functions.

    There have certainly been many Windows Store users who have complained over the years about the large number of apps published that are clones of other apps or ones that are simply poorly made. Hopefully, this new move by Microsoft will help to curb these issues, at least for now.
