For Android users, the little blue arrow badge next to a developer's name has become a very familiar sight on the Play Store. The feature implies that the developer is one of Android's Top Developers. However, Google is finally saying goodbye to this notification.
According to Android Community, ever since the top developer badge was made, users have been mocking it, tagging it as useless in many ways. Google is expected to find a replacement that would capture the interest and the attention of Android users.

"After taking a look at our existing app recognition programs, the Google Play editorial team has decided to focus its efforts on recognizing high quality and innovative apps and games. As a first step, we will be closing the Top Developer program and removing the badging from the Play Store within 30 days. We have exciting plans to recognize more of the great apps and games you create and will be sharing updates soon," the Google Play Store team said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Mobile Syrup stated that Google has not provided any information about what would replace the Top Developers Program.
Google stated that it is no more focused now on recognizing individual apps. Furthermore, the company said it plans to reward the top apps and games.
