Read More11 Public Tech Companies Worth Less Than Uber

Mar 17, 9:26PM
On this week’s Droidcast, we discuss Google’s big changes to the Play Store, with the introduction of a review process that involves human eyes on apps before they’re made available, as well as the adoption of app age ratings based on existing standards.
