Description
Today users have no feedback information.
It will be better if we know for exemple - how many times app was downloaded
Another problem is conflicts with Windows Malware Protection.
Some apps after installation will cause anti-virus aggression (for example IoBit products)
In my opinion it will be better if we can see, for example (Ⓜ) , if programm is safe for use with Microsoft Antivirus
