Google has just made a major change to their Google Play store. The Google Play store is the app store for devices with Google software. This new update helps people who download apps make better decisions on which apps they want to download. In this update, Google now shows which apps contain ads in the app store. The indicator on which it shows whether it has ads or not will appear next to the indicator of in app purchases. This update could also be a downside for app developers. Many apps nowadays put a lot of adds in their games so that they can earn money when people click on them. If a person does not know that the app has adds, they are more likely to download it. There will be a decrease in revenue for many app developers, as people will now check twice to make sure that they will not download apps with ads in them. Many people who download apps find ads as an annoyance, or a way to make extra money on the side. App developers make money from the ads when people accidentally click on the ad while they are playing the game. This could often take a while for people to go back into that app if their phone is slow. I personally find this as a good feature, and hopefully one that Apple hopes to adopt soon, as the App Store has much more apps in it than the Google Play Store.
