Reto Meier from the Android Developer Relations team, contacted him to help guide him through the appeal process.Īs far as Shu knows, none of the other third-party Reddit apps on Android have been banned, so it seems like this is an isolated incident.
He told me that Google learned about his complaints via Reddit ( and Google+). PST): App developer Andrew Shu just responded to my inquiries about the Reddit Is Good app getting banned. We’ll update the post with any new information. We’re reaching out to both Shu and Google for more details. The second big thing that’s interesting about this situation is that Google is apparently now policing its recently rebranded app store to keep out the unsavory bits - something rival Apple has been criticized for in the past.Īlso, the Android store doesn’t have an approval process like Apple’s App Store, nor is it known for having a strict code of order for developers when submitting apps into the Google App store. Reddit doesn’t actually host any media/content, it just provides people with a way to access it. First of all, it’s hard to see how Google would single out a Reddit app because it contains pornographic media when you could easily say the same thing about any web browser application. This particular situation is interesting for a few reasons. Not sure exactly why my app was singled out and the other reddit apps weren’t, though.” After all it’s true that reddit content includes NSFW (not safe for work) content.

“I’m not sure how to go about appealing this. “I got 2 emails from the Google Play Store telling me my apps, reddit is fun lite and pro, have been banned for sexually explicit material,” said the app’s creator Andrew Shu in a Reddit submission post. The reason is apparently that the apps were considered pornographic. Both the free and pro version of the app, called “Reddit is Fun,” have been removed from Google’s store.
