Google Play Store now has AI review summaries | Infinium-tech
For quite some time now, Google has been AI-ifying everything it does, and the latest AI infusion has gone straight to the Play Store on Android. It is now showing AI generated review summaries for apps listed in the store, saving you a lot of time looking at different app reviews to get a feel for how good or bad a specific app is.
As with anything Google does, the rollout of this feature has been slow, but at least it’s finally starting – AI summaries were first seen in testing more than a year ago. Once you’ve got it, you’ll see a “What users are saying” section above the reviews. Oh! That is the matter.

This will only appear for apps that have enough reviews, but we don’t know what the exact threshold is. Each AI summary is one paragraph, and attempts to highlight the most common positive and negative points in user reviews.
Just under the summary paragraph you find a selection of ‘chips’, which you can tap to quickly access reviews that describe each chip. For what it’s worth, Apple launched something very similar to the iOS App Store in April.
