Disney Makes Major Games Free And Google Removed 60,000 Apps From Play Store

Six Disney games are now free on Android – Temple Run Brave, Where’s My Perry, Where’s My Water, Wreck It Ralph, It’s a Small World, and Puffle Launch. They were all previously priced at $0.99. Their iOS siblings are still paid apps.

It’s unclear if this promotion is temporary, but according to the Google Play rules once an app goes free there is no turning back unless the developer deletes it and submits it again.

Meanwhile, Google has kicked out of the Play Store about 60,000 applications because of low-quality. Most of the apps seems to be MP3/ringtone related and were removed not because of malware, but spam.

As it seems Google is starting to pay closer attention to the apps that make it to the Play Store and doesn’t trust completely its automated system anymore.

Google has also confirmed the official app count for the Play Store is 700 000, that’s 100k less than the Apple’s App Store. Apple has been reviewing the submitted apps manually thus reducing the low quality software entering the App Store.
