Reply to comments on Google Play for Android developers

Android and Google Play are awesome.  But as someone involved with user feedback from Android apps, I have to say that not being able to reply to user comments on Google Play was a major issue.  People asking questions, mentioning bugs, and just slandering – and there is no way for you to answer or get more details or even suggest an alternative communication channel.  That was driving me nuts.  And, apparently, I was not alone.

Well, it seems that Google has finally heard our prayers and is enabling replies to comments on Google Play.  Initially, it was just for a few selected developers, but now this feature should be available for everyone.

In the loop

In the loop

 

It’s been a really long time since I saw a comedy which was funny in a smart way.  Yesterday however I had excellent time watching “In the loop“.  It’s political, satirical and smart.  No toilet humor, no teenage sex humor.  It’s modern, yet it stays away from references that won’t be understood ten years down the road.  There are a few familiar faces in the cast, but not too much.  And, there is plenty of awesome English swearing, which, though, can be understood.

Overall, 5 out of 5.  Highly recommended, unless swearing upsets you.
