Mirani, Leo. "Google Is Waging War on Apps That Attack and Steal From Your Phone." Mashable. Quarts, 5 Sept. 2013. Web. 6 Sept. 2013. <http://mashable.com/2013/09/05/google-changes-play-app-store/>.

In this article it tells about the differences in Apple and Android (Google). It tells how they manage their app stores and keep the apps or users safe from spam. They are the leading app services, so they compete with each other. The main point of the article is telling why Google is deleting certain apps from their store and its because the apps are corrupted and unsafe.

I agree with what Google is doing with their store. It seems to be a good thing and a great idea. It affects me because I have two Android devices that use the Google app store. It is really annoying when you spend the time or money to download an app and it turns out to be a fake or imitation of the original. It is also annoying when apps are mainly adds and cheat you out of your money. They make some apps where you don't even want to bother dealing with it. It can make you very frustrated.

  This is a very in the world today. Many people have devices that use apps. In the Google Play app store there is about one million apps. There is an app for everything. The easier it is to use the app or the more useful it is, the more popular it is and that means more downloads.  In this time apps are becoming more important and being used more often. Apps can now be used to help at work or school. There are many apps just for those purposes. I think this can really help and will be useful in the future. It could even be the rise to get Google to be better than Apple.
