Stuck before production
A new account that can't publish yet, and no clear sign of when it will.
Consulting · Google Play & Android
Google Play consulting for Android apps
Google Play has its own policies, declarations and reviews, and any of them can stop a release or take down an app that is already live. We have launched our own apps and games there and dealt with all of it first-hand. Now we help your team get through it without losing weeks.
Where teams get stuck
The problems we are asked about most often.
Rejections without a clear reason
A policy is cited, but what Google wants changed is anything but obvious.
Declarations sent back
Forms and declarations returned again and again.
Removed or suspended apps
An app taken down, or a notice with a deadline coming up.
A store page that doesn't convert
People find the app and leave without installing it.
Growth that hits a wall
Ads or campaigns limited, and no one can say why.
