Thanks Android Police.
Whats new:
You now have the Installed and All tabs you can swipe between. The former one is what we used to have before - it lists all apps installed on your device. The latter lists all apps you've ever installed in case you want to download them again or travel down the memory lane. This is quite handy, and I've seen this list before in the Play Store on the web, so it's great to get it here in the mobile app.
The All tab contains a handy dropdown with all your accounts (if you added more than one) and lets you switch between them very easily (as opposed to clicking Menu, etc).
The list of apps you have purchased but uninstalled or haven't installed yet has moved to the All tab... which means it's now mixed in with the free apps you no longer have on the device. I'm not sure how I feel about that - on one hand, I like that it's gone from the first list, but ideally there should be a way to filter paid apps from free in the All list. Maybe someday...
A few of the stock apps that apparently never got linked to the Play Store before got identified and picked up this time, and updates to such orphans were waiting for me when I fired the Store up. I've complained about this very bug in my last rant, and it looks like someone listened.
Just like in the web Play Store:
- reviews now show the device used by the reviewer
- reviews can now be sorted by Most Helpful first or Newest first
- you can now filter reviews to show ones for the latest version of the app as well as made by only the device you are using
hahahahaha....I always love threads like this, they'll be about 100 of these by the end of the day!
Also you should search before posting ESPECIALLY with a thread like this.....

About a 4 or 5 days ago a app started showing up in my "Installed" tab in the Google Play Store. The app has no title, and it says its made by TimothyMilla. The comments on the app say that its tied to Teeter, which is an HTC Bloatware game that comes with the phone. I haven't clicked Open on the app yet because the other apps made by TimothyMilla look suspect, TimothyMilla didn't make Teeter, and I didn't install whatever this is.
My question is does anyone else have this issue, or know what it is? Or does anyone know if TimothyMilla apps are spyware? Look Out Security couldn't find any maleware, but i'm really concerned with this showing up.
I've tried wiping everything off my phone, which removed the app at first, but by the time I finished reinstalling all my apps, it showed up again. (I reinstalled apps directly from Google Play, not through a phone back up).
Yeah I have the same app showing up in my play account. Comes up clean jen scanned though..

It's Teeter, however does not know why it shows up this way.
I removed teeter via titanium Backup (never played it) and it was also gone from My Apps on the store.
Hi!
I have such strange "app" too. And I've teeter installed on my phone. Anyway, I've never seen Timothymilla before yesterdey on my phone market.
I don't want to remove Teether. What is this app?
I noticed this yesterday as well. I clicked 'Open' and it opened Teeter. I haven't noticed anything different about my phone, so for now I'm just assuming its a link anomaly of some sort.

That is exactly what it is. This "dev" has an "app" with the same package name as the stock teeter app and thus is being mistakenly tagged in the store. Timothy Milla is NOT the dev that created teeter. The same thing is happening with the GS2's stock email app. The store is mistaking it for some Russian app. This is all do to the latest update to the store, 3.5.15. In short, you don't have Timothy Milla's app, you have teeter. The market link launches teeter because that is the package on the device that corresponds to that "app."
I don't know what happened but such entry has disappeared on my Play Store.
I had a similar event show up in my apps yesterday on my Acer Iconia A500 tablet. The strange thing is that it doesn't show the typical 3 choices of Update, Open, and Un-install. It just has a button for Open. I have no idea what it is so I am not opening it.
Is there some way to block an app from showing updates?

TimothyMilla appeared again!
This bothers me a lot!
One thing I forgot to mention is that this unknown app of mine has no permissions listed and also has no ratings or comments section. Does your Timothy Milla app have all these usual "bits" shown in its listing, or are they also missing on your mystery app?
As for the permission list, I don't see one too. But I don't see permission even on other normal apps. As for the comments, yes, they are present, I see few comments.
This morning I had 4 apps in the update list on my tablet, but the mysterious app previously discussed was gone. Hopefully Google figured out what was going on and dealt with it on their server.
Actually it disappeared again on my device too.
So, it seems to be a Google Play issue.
I'm getting the same information on the similar thread I started on Android Forums, so it looks like the issue has been discovered and fixed.
Not spyware
Well this is a little flattering... I'd just like to clear some things up. No, this isn't some major hack on the Android market that puts you all at risk. It is however, a huge bug in the new Play Store Google put out a little while ago. Let me explain: Google used to have a list of package names that they would screen from appearing in the market for example, preinstalled apps such as Teeter. Somehow when Google updated to the Play store, this system got reversed and it somehow picked my developer account (I'm still trying to contact Google and find out how) and displayed this on your "My apps" section. No, the app was not automagically installed on your phone, it was always preinstalled but it just now showed up in the Android market because of faulty programming on the engineering team for Google Play.

There is no way my device would have an intrinsic application which doesn't even list itself in English. Especially because the device on which it appeared is running a custom ROM, so I know which apps it would have "preinstalled". I believe what you are saying is that Google initially chose to block your account based upon that app, and it somehow got through. They likely had a good reason to do so. I see you do have other apps on the store, but every one of them lists in English. Not very compelling evidence that the rogue app was something safe.
Don't know if anyone has noticed but the play store has been updated, not the app but the website version.
The reason i mention it is because if you go to the play store and click the "My Android Apps" tab it shows you all the apps you have installed and used to have installed(Which is nothing new), but the feature i have noticed which may come in handy for many is you can now update your apps from this tab when there is an update available, the reason this would come in handy for me is like many ppl i have modified my DPI and as most know doing so make some apps incompatible for your phone and unable to update from the play store app.
Well not any more as you can now update them from the play store even those ones that show up in your app store as not being compatible but you already have them installed.
Sorry if this is been covered before or is old news i done a quick search and had a quick look but never found anything..
I was going to post this in a device specific forum but it happened on both of my CM 10.2 devices at the same time. This isn't a question so much as how I managed to solve the problem.
I was getting a 403 error and unable to download a lot of updates for some apps. Specifically Lux and 2Do as well as some issues with SkySafari and a number of other paid apps. The error seems to have something to do with apps having been bought on one but not both of my Google accounts. Like many I have a "household" Google account to keep from having to buy one app 6 times or more often subscribe to a magazine or buy a book for every individual in my family.
So, I went around and I did the thing where you remove all of your Google accounts, wipe data on Play Store, Services, and Framework and then add back. I started to have to do that every single time one of the problem apps updated. For Lux I did a test and bought it on both accounts, this cleared up the problem. Not going to happen though, defeats the entire point. Finally on one of my trials I uninstalled the updates to the play store and then cleared the data. Quickly I went in and the updates installed as long as I went into the "My Apps" under "All" and selected the account that actually paid for them.
So, I hope this helps someone before they end up doing the nuclear option and completely formatting a device and starting fresh, trying to get the errors to stop.
For what its worth the Play Store version I finally got to work is v4.3.10 and v4.4.21 (the current version) seems to have some kind of bug where this kind of problem can happen.
"Sleuthing Google Play (on the web)"
Like many folks, I have more than 1 Android device (or, more than 8 devices).
I used to be able to get a full list of devices registered w/ Google (Play), but now I only get 5 of them. Some devices are offline until I tear them down and fix them.
I can see a listing of "Installed" apps under my Google Play account - a long list (700+).
Is there any way to find a listing PER device? I thought there was, but all I find now is that I can request an app be installed on one of the listed devices, not a way to show what's noted as having been already installed on a specific device.
Per Device Listing - question change
One problem solved...
No sooner than I posted, I discovered the answer to my question...
In the Google Play Store, after selecting "Apps", "My apps", the result displayed defaulted to "App Apps". When I scanned that before, I saw options for "Family Library", "Subscriptions", ...
I stopped when I saw the top two. Below those choices are 4 of the 5 devices that Google Play remembers for my devices.
You can select any of the devices shown, and the app listing will be limited to just that device. (I'd leave a screen shot, but I can't do attachments)
Now, to figure out (backwards), where each of the (700+) apps are installed, which may help me track down my not-included devices.
Can a person have TOO MANY devices? (I'd like to think "No.").
