Google in a statement said that "Google Play does not allow apps that contain or promote sexual content and we've been in contact with the developer on this issue." Referring to Amazon, Apple said, “We’ve shared these concerns with the developer and are working with them to ensure their app is compliant with our guidelines.” "We are reviewing all of the available information and are taking action based on our findings.” “We’re committed to providing a safe shopping and reading experience for our customers and their families and we take matters like this seriously," said Amazon in a statement to Reuters.
