# Stay under the store's crash and freeze limits

For AI agents: the [site map](https://agentwranglers.se/llms.txt) lists everything here, and this page sits under [Crashes and quality](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/mobile-apps/crashes-and-quality.md).

- ID: MOB-32
- Level: Recommended
- Chapter: [Crashes and quality](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/mobile-apps/crashes-and-quality)
- Rule: Keep the share of daily users who see a crash below 1.09%, and a freeze (ANR) below 0.47%. Halt a rollout that passes either.
- How: These are Google Play's bad behaviour limits for the user-perceived crash and ANR rates. The limit for any one phone model is 8%. An app over a limit may show up less in Play and get a warning on its listing. Use the same targets on iOS, from your crash service and Xcode Organizer. Watch the new build's rates during [release to a share of users first](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/mobile-apps/signing-and-release/phased-release), and halt it when they pass. Keep slow work off the main thread, which causes most freezes. Treat the crash-free share as a target, as [set a target for each indicator](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/operations/service-levels/service-level-objectives) explains.
- Check: Android vitals shows the user-perceived crash rate under 1.09% and the ANR rate under 0.47% for the last 28 days. No phone model is over 8%.
