System for assessing an application for tablet compatibility and quality

摘要

Applications that have been designed for a smaller format device such as a smartphone and simply ported to a larger format device such as a tablet can be discerned from applications designed specifically for the larger format device. An application can be evaluated based on tablet compatibility criteria and can be assigned a tablet compatibility score. The application can be evaluated based on quality criteria and can be assigned a quality score. The compatibility score and the quality score can be used to help find and rate any number of applications.
