I have two apps in the google play store. Is it possible to create an http link from one to another in the description of the first?
Google Play descriptions do not support links.
That not true.
You can add links to other application in google play with <a> tag.
For example, link to my app:
ROS Sensors
You can look at my description app how i do it:
ROS Sensors
We can provide links in play store description using two methods.
Visit Link https://www.google.com
Output in play store app:
Visit Link https://www.google.com
Output in play store website:
Visit Link https://www.google.com
Note :
The below code will not make any link in play store app
Visit Link https://www.google.com
Google Play descriptions do not support links. You can tell the reader the name of the app, nothing more.
Plus, in any case, your app will come under the "Related Apps" and "More from developer" headings in most cases.
If you put full url address in app description (with https protocol, not only www) it will be visible as a link in browser.
eg:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=domain.company.appname
Of course google play links to apps aren't nice so you can use some url converters.
Google has documentated how to properly link within google play to other resources like a store listing, developer page, a search result etc..
Linking to a store listing
Use the format below to deep-link directly to an app's Store listing page, where users can see the app description, screenshots, reviews and more, and then install it.
To create the link, you need to know the app's fully qualified package name, which is declared in the app's manifest file. The package name is also visible in the Google Play Console.
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=<package_name>
Here's an example:
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps
A URL of the following form will be converted to a clickable link and will redirect to the address specified in YOUR_URL.
https://www.google.com/url?q=YOUR_URL
eg: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=domain.company.appname

I have made a special URL to which, if browsed to, if it has Android in the user-agent, it redirects (302) to google play to download the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id={app_name}
Thing is, it doesn't deeplink. it will open the google play in that app, but inside the browser.
How can that be achieved? I dont want to have a button on the page.
Thanks
Instead of https://, you can use market:// for Play store links. Google describes it here: http://developer.android.com/distribute/tools/promote/linking.html
The link would look like market://details?id=<package_name>.
I know it might sound weird! Is it possible to link the number of downloads of your app from your site to reflect on Google play store?
I don't think you can access directly from the site, but you can use the WhereDat app search API
Is there a way to get the details of all apps available in App Store (Google Play/ Apple App Store/ Windows Store)? Is there any RSS Feed or a service that could be utilized for this.
Simply answer is NO, There is no such way to grab the application information in the AppStore, Google Play or Windows store.
You can get the rss feed of iPhone app's using this link. You can generate the rss feed url according to your need.
For Android refer this link
For windows refer this link
Can I directly link to the ratings tab of an app's page on Google Play?
If yes, what is the url?
You can't link to the ratings tab (if any) on Google Play. The only thing you can do is link to the app's page and add an on-screen toast with a 1 sentence instruction on how to rate the app (e.g. "Scroll down and click 'Review' ... ")
You can only link to an app, a publisher, a collection, or search result. All of the others are not possible to link directly to.
You can find out how to link to these, and what isn't possible, in the documentation.
some days ago I've published an app on Google Play. When I log into the Google Play Developer Console I can see user comments about my app. When I visit my app's site on Google Play, however, these comments are not visible.
Does anybody know how I can get these comments to become visible on my app's site on Google Play?
At this moment you don't need to use proxy.
You can simply add to URL &hl=en where en is two-letter language code defined in ISO 639-1
For example:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.reader&hl=en
(English)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.reader&hl=pl
(Polish)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.reader&hl=it
(Italian)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.reader&hl=fr
(French)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.reader&hl=es
(Spanish)
Comment in Google Play store separate for different countries. May be this is the reason why you don't see it. Try to use proxy. There is no way for you to change this behavior.
Google play shows reviews if your language is suitable to apps language.To show reviews add &hl= apps_language like (ru or en) to the end of url.
