All these apps are produced from the fake company (Google, Inc) resembling the name of the original developer (Google Inc.). Each of these apps carried the price of $1.99 each. The only app that Google offers for Windows phone is its search app and the publisher for this app is 'Google Inc.'.


The apps in question were certainly doubtful in the Windows app store. It was just the matter of time before these apps would be caught by some company or customer. The controversial apps were first spotted by WinBeta this morning. At the first place, these apps shouldn't have made their way to the app store.

While these six fake apps have been removed now from the apps store, it is still not guaranteed that apps store is free from fake apps now. The apps approval system of Microsoft needs a significant overhauling.
