Google Play Store update adds more control over in-app purchases

A New York-based woman recently filed a class-action lawsuit against Google after her child managed to purchase US$70 worth of virtual “crystals” in the game Marvel Run Jump Smash. She claims Google wasn’t clear about the 30 minute window policy that lets users download anything for the half-hour with just one password input. Google answered back by releasing a new update for its Play Store that provides an option for users to enter a password every time an in-app purchase is made. The 30 minute window, however, is still available for those who want to use it.
