Android Apps Must Be Rated by Developers

Nov 24, 2010, 10:02 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Google will be instituting a new mandatory ratings system for applications that appear within the Android Market. The four ratings are All, Pre-teen, Teen, & Mature, and must be applied to all applications by their developer. This includes apps that have already been published. Google said that apps with no content rating will default to Mature. Google believes that the new rating system will help end users choose apps and content that is best suited for them.
