    I was doing some reading and came across banned apps for Android. Thought only Apple did that for the IPad.

    No matter where you go you'll find censorship of one sort or another. People that think they want to save you from yourself, and those that don't want you to know any better...

    Sometimes these apps are banned because they're actively malicious, usually masquerading as one thing but actually stealing data or doing whatever.

    Back in the day, we'd call them trojans on PCs.
