As I wrote it is not only about changing anything, it is more about some rules: clear description, one language etc.
A next example: whatsapp. Two options, identical icons in the store. Which one should I choose? What's gonna happen if next 5 what's app icons appear in a store? I installed both. Now I do not know which one is which so I can't even give a rating to help anyone. Let's make at least some rules for the developers who add a new app to the store.

Today I make perhaps a big deal out of nothing. But in a month someone at Canonical will try again to bring Ubuntu Phone to the market. And then my mother, friend and sister will get an Ubuntu device into his/her hands. I can bet already today that their reaction will be just as mine at the moment.

The only thing today that tells the user which whatsapp/facebook app to choose is rating. If the app has a Polish description and there will be more 5-star rating frmom Polish users, rating is a very unreliable thing. Rating can also be added for an older version of an app. How is it then reliable?

Ubuntu Store is for me some kind of apt-get in a terminal. If You're 100% sure what You want to install, You will succeed. Otherwise the installation will be a road through the darkness. Even apt-get would be better cause I'd be 100% sure that i'm installing the program i really want to install.
