Today I read an article online about apps on the Android play store that featured “inspiring Hitler quotes”. The article listed about 4 free apps that provided quotes and information about Hitler. Without reading the article, I went on my phone and quickly searched up the apps. However, I found that 3 out of the 4 that had been listed had been removed.
One of these apps, called Infamous Hitler Quotes, apparently had 50,000 downloads in the past 3 days and had 1,012 votes, giving it a 4.5 out of 5. The description of this app was asking Android users to “enjoy the inspiration of Adolf Hitler on your phone.” (This sounded odd to me and I had to read it over a couple of times to make sure that’s really what it said).
But it didn’t end there because there were 2 more apps that had been removed. Apparently, the description of another app called Adolf Hitler Thoughts stated that “the wonderful leader has given a lot of quotes that could motivate people to conquer the world” and the final app called Hitler’s Sayings refers to his quotes as “beautiful sayings that we could benefit from in our lives.” I click the one app that was still there, expecting negative reviews and comments, however, that was not the case as many people were enthusiastically praising the app (that could let you share your favourite quotes you’re your friends) and their only complaint was that there wasn’t enough pictures.
Having said all this, I find it odd that Google really did remove them from the play store, personally I think that they didn't really need to since everyone is entitled to their opinions and whoever wanted to could download it and people who didn't could just ignore it.
