Android, since its existence, has always been creating a wow factor to the user because of its unmatched features like support of third party applications, available world-wide free of cost i.e. no license is needed, Linux based architecture etc. Today 80% of the smartphones are powering with android, the popularity of android increases so the demand of android application also increases and this has attracted the number of android developers to build their applications and earn royalty on them. But there are more failed apps than the successful ones. Android has tons of low-quality apps. Also, several attackers are there just developing malicious application to get the information of the users. There are developers who submit application on Play Store in a hurry just to make profit. Google Play store has very loose policy for the submission of application; they haven’t defined a specific parameter for reviewing the application. They just checks for the functioning of application. It results in submission of such apps applications that are of no use.

The main reasons behind the failure of theseandroid applications are:

Asking ...
... for unnecessary permissions
There are a lot of applications available in Play Store with irrelevant permissions, like a torch application is asking to access GPS, Address book, etc.

Unresponsiveness
Again it is one of the main reasons behind the failure of application as there are applications available which are unresponsive many times while. They just keep crashes all the time.

Unnecessary Consumption of Resources
There are applications that on running consume unnecessary resources, which lead to the slowing down the device and higher consumption of the battery. It may result in loosing the interest of the user.

Not having attractive User Interface
Applications without attractive user interface might also result in failure. For Example a gaming application is updated on the Play Store and if it lacks in getting connected with the user i.e. user do not understand and found difficult to navigate it. At the end of the day it annoys users and ultimately causes the removal of application.

Visibility
It is the another reason for the failure of application as we know that Play Store has millions of applications available and if you’re application is not visible in here, it may be the reason for failure. if a user doesn’t know about the application that how it is going gain popularity as there are millions of application available in the store where only those are ranked which get good number of download and positive ratings and reviews.

Missing Features
User enjoys having applications but absence of features might also result in failure of an application. If in hurry you define the presence of feature, but its not there, it may result in loosing the interest of the user.
