Tell me about it. I look at all these random updates that get pushed to my mobile phone and they all pretty much have that kind of fluff in the description. Apple/Android should take some steps to improve this or outright ban this practice. In terms of importance to them though I imagine this is pretty low on the list.

I have dreamed about an automated LLM system that can "diff" the changes out of the binary and provide some insight. You know give back a tiny bit of power to the user. I'll keep dreaming.

It's worse, as someone who does try to privide release notes I'm often cut off by the max length of the field. And even then, Play only shows you the notes for the latest version of the app.
