For most of us, we are able to tell which apps are meant for kids, and which are more, well, grown-up friendly. However it seems that there are parents out there who are concerned about the apps in iTunes App Store and how Apple has not clearly stated which apps are suitable for kids, and which aren’t. Apple has since updated their iTunes App Store by posting age rating tags at the top of the apps to make it clear who these apps are meant for, and making it one of the first things parents or kids see when downloading. This is probably to curb future controversy like the Vine and 500px app that featured nudity, although in Vine’s case it was unintentional, and 500px was more “artsy” if anything. The age rating tag will also help parents remember to set parental controls in case they forget them, which hopefully will prevent their kids from coming across adult material, or racking up thousands of dollars in in-app purchases, a scenario which is becoming increasingly common these days.

This new policy will be taking effect come 1st of May.

One of the popular ways that scammers use to trick users into downloading and paying for fake apps on the iTunes App Store would be to submit their app with legitimate screenshots, and then switch them out once they have been approved to resemble another popular app. Scams for Pokemon and Minecraft have been brought to light in the past and it looks like Apple is finally doing something about it. The Cupertino company has announced a new policy in which screenshots submitted along with the app will be locked, meaning scammers will have a harder, if not impossible time of performing ye’ old bait-and-switch. According to the new policy outlined by

If you’re living in Europe and you were thinking about getting your first iOS device, you might be interested to learn that last Friday, it seems that Apple has bumped the prices up in its European iTunes App Store. This was primarily due to the exchange rate changes, where now the minimum price of an app in the iTunes App Store will go for $1.15. One developer thinks that Apple could have factored in value added taxes (VAT) in its price increase, but ultimately we guess both Apple and developers stand to gain in this price hike. Granted it’s not a very huge difference in price from before, but there is also the psychological component behind it – imagine paying $0.99 versus $1.15.
