In 1.0.3.8 small icon attached to apps in Jolla Store was introduced to differentiate native SailfishOS and Android apps from each other. It just barely fulfils the requirement of being able see which apps are for which platform. Currently it is implemented in Jolla Store as ollows:

• in start screen and in category views Android apps have a small circle with a green drod figure in middle that is shown in the right bottpm corner of the app icon (SailfishOS app icons are as before).
• in the application page the platform is shown with a small sailfish or droid icon just below the application name

The problems with this implementation:

• the droid icon is too small and unclear to identify it as such in start and category views
• if an application is already installed the check-box that indicates that overwrites the Android icon in start and category views
• there isn't list views for SailfishOS and Android apps respectively
• user can't search or filter store apps based on the platform

For these reasons better and clearer implementation to see the OS of store apps is needed. This question can be used to post suggestions as Amswer to propose how the current design shoupd be improved and enhanced.

In system-update 1.0.3.8 a small icon attached to apps in Jolla Store was introduced to differentiate native SailfishOS and Android apps from each other. It just barely fulfils fulfills the requirement of being able see which apps are for which platform. Currently it is implemented in Jolla Store as ollows:follows:

• in start screen and in category views Android apps have a small circle with a green drod droid figure in middle that is shown in the right bottpm bottom corner of the app icon app-icon (SailfishOS app icons are as before).
• in the application page the platform is shown with a small sailfish or droid icon just below the application name

The problems Problems with this implementation:

• the droid icon is too small and unclear to identify it as such in (in start and category viewsviews)
• if an application is already installed the a check-box that indicates that indicating this overwrites the Android icon in start and category viewsviews (and the OS information is lost)
• there isn't list views for SailfishOS and Android apps respectively
• user users can't search or filter store apps based on the platform

For these reasons better design and clearer implementation to see differentiate the OS (SailfishOS / Android) of store apps is needed.

This question can be used to post suggestions as Amswer Answer to propose how the current implementation and design shoupd shoud be improved and enhanced.
