Systems and methods for crowdsourced application advisory

A system for crowd sourced application advisory, the system comprising:

• at least one physical processor;
• and
• physical memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the physical processor, cause the physical processor to:
• analyze a behavior of an application based on a characteristic of the application;
• generate initial data for the characteristic of the application based on the analysis;
• collect, from each of a plurality of computing devices that run the application, respective data for the characteristic of the application based on an assessment of the application in light of the characteristic of the application;
• modify the initial data for the characteristic based on the collected data for the characteristic;
• display, on a display device of the computing device, a user interface comprising an advisory for the application that includes the modified initial data for the characteristic of the application;
• receive, via the user interface, at least one of a decision to install the application or a decision to uninstall the application on the computing device based on the advisory for the application;
• and
• based on determining that the data collected for the characteristic of the application is from at least a threshold number of computing devices and that data collected for the characteristic of another application is from less than the threshold number of computing devices, proportionally distribute the characteristic of the application to the characteristic of the other application comprising:
• assigning a first weight to the characteristic in association with the application reflective of the decision to install the application or to uninstall the application;
• and
• adjusting a second weight assigned to the characteristic in association with the other application using the first weight, the second weight for use in displaying another advisory for the other application.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• analyze a behavior of an application based on a characteristic of the application;
• generate initial data for the characteristic of the application based on the analysis;
• collect, from each of a plurality of computing devices that run the application, respective data for the characteristic of the application based on an assessment of the application in light of the characteristic of the application;
• modify the initial data for the characteristic based on the collected data for the characteristic;
• display, on a display device of the computing device, a user interface comprising an advisory for the application that includes the modified initial data for the characteristic of the application;
• receive, via the user interface, at least one of a decision to install the application or a decision to uninstall the application on the computing device based on the advisory for the application;
• and
• based on determining that the data collected for the characteristic of the application is from at least a threshold number of computing devices and that data collected for the characteristic of another application is from less than the threshold number of computing devices, proportionally distribute the characteristic of the application to the characteristic of the other application comprising:
• assigning a first weight to the characteristic in association with the application reflective of the decision to install the application or to uninstall the application;
• and
• adjusting a second weight assigned to the characteristic in association with the other application using the first weight, the second weight for use in displaying another advisory for the other application.
