Android Market - Time to wait between two updates

Question

I would like to know how many times I must wait to post an update for my application. I want to be sure that the update will appears in the "news" section of the Android Market.

Answer 1

You're trying to game the Market system. Don't do that. Update your app when it needs updating, i.e. when you have new features or bug-fixes.

In my experience, updating too often will make existing users angry, and you'll get several one-star "too many updates - uninstalled" comments. I think those are a bit dumb (I'm always glad to have well-maintained apps), but the bottom line is still - don't update if you don't have to.

You can update several times a day if you wish, there's no limitation regarding that. Personally, I tried to wait at least 14 days inbetween updates, but if I can hold out even longer, I will.

Answer 2

Updates are an hidden question to the user, "Do I really need this app?" There are two buttons: Update and Uninstall. Easy enough to press the Uninstall-Button. So, with every update you will loose installations ...
