Former Apple executive says App Store is falling apart by the seams
Both the App Store and the Google Play Store appear to have issues keeping malware out of their respective app storefronts and protecting their users from paying ridiculously high prices for apps that offer features available for free on other apps. Apple and Google should be doing their best to make sure that their valued customers aren't getting ripped off by bad actors.
The App Store in particular has been called a monopoly with users blaming Apple's walled garden for keeping app prices higher than they should be. That's because Apple's 30% cut of in-app payments has lead some developers to hike their prices. And while Google also takes a 30% cut from in-app payments, Android allows users to sideload apps from a third-party app store while Apple doesn't.
Apple's App Store is also the center of another legal issue involving Epic Games, the developer behind the popular Fortnite game. Players purchasing special in-app currency for the game were prompted by Epic to pay less for the currency over its own payment platform. This happened to violate Apple's own rules that prevent apps listed on the App Store from offering its own in-app payment system.
