Why not let the review system speak for itself? Let people rate the app on a scale of 1-5 or whatever, and just let that rating do its job. Why fucking manipulate search ranking up or down beyond those ratings?
The only objective measurement I can think of would be ads shown per minute. Take that spamy mofo rating down and I can see better behaving apps being rewarded.
Always find it revealing about a person's character and mental aptitude when they say, "Can't you just add this? It should be trivial to implement," where said person has no specific domain knowledge of what they're claiming is a simple task. A real world example of this type of person is Donald Trump. All of the things he said he would get done as soon as he was sworn in as president because he was the best, he knew more than the generals, the people before him were losers, etc.--Well, it turns out the job

It would be trivial to add a continuous integration step to the PlayStore data.
Forget app size in MB, I want to know how long it takes to launch. How much RAM it uses after launch. How much RAM it uses after 1 hour open.
