Google App Verification Service Detects Only 15% of Infected Apps 99
ShipLives writes "Researchers have tested Google's app verification service (included in Android 4.2 last month), and found that it performed very poorly at identifying malware in apps. Specifically, the app verification service identified only ~15% of known malware in testing — whereas existing third-party security apps identified between 51% and 100% of known malware in testing."

All the samples fed to the various detectors were infected, that's the problem with this "research", they lack a control group.
