A lot of apps is developed with a specific audience in mind. In many cases the audience is people living in a specific country (e.g. Norway) or region (e.g. Scandinavia or Asia). Every month Google publish their platform distribution number. Unfortunately these are global numbers only.

Because of this, the numbers often have little value if you need to make decisions based on a certain country or region. As an example, we are in Norway seeing around 74% of the users on Android 4.x, while the global numbers are 43%.

Sign this petition to make it clear to Google that there is a need for better granularity in the published platform distribution numbers.
