Mitron app returns to Google Play Store with UX changes

NEW DELHI: Short form video app Mitron which was taken down by Google from its Play Store earlier this week for technical policy violations is back with an updated UX. The app’s landing page says the UX has been changed and issues related to video uploads and app crashes have been addressed.

Following the backlash against Google over the removal of the app, Sameer Samat, vice president, Android and Google Play, had explained that the video app was removed for a number of technical policy violations. However, he suggested that Google had given them some guidance on how to fix the issues and once they were addressed the app can go back up on Play Store.

Accoridng to news reports, the primary issue with the Mitron app was that its Indian developers didn’t make changes to the app after purchasing its source code from Pakistani software company Qboxus.
