Things the Google Play Store Should Add, Change

Having migrated from iOS to Android, the thing I miss the most is 'does this app contain In App Purchases, and if so, which one'. For me it's mostly a critical criteria to either download it (if it's a lite version, containing an IAP for the full one, ie the non-consumable as you call it) or a skip it (if it contains 'buy 15000 pieces of gold for $5, ie the consumables).
At the moment, I trust almost none of the games on Android, since even some of the ones you buy contain IAP, and there's no way to find out before installing them.
On the occasion that I do want to buy an app, I never find it through the store either, it's 100% a referral from someplace else.

They also break down paid vs free in specific categories, like free finance apps: https://play.google.com/store/apps/category/FINANCE/collecti...
"Google could provide an open Alpha/Beta system which lists the app on the Play Store as they normally would, but the app would have an Alpha/Beta tag next to the name so that users know what they're getting into. "
