You may remember the trouble Apple had gotten into for in-app purchases made by kids who weren’t “authorized” to access the iTunes App Store.

The trouble began a few years back for Apple. The company started getting refund requests and complaints from parents, some who’s kids had racked up thousands of dollars in charges playing games like Smurf Village. Apple swiftly responded by refunding money, and engaging in a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission.

Apple also put fail safes into place to prevent some in-app purchases however, recently, they were still facing penalties from the FTC for kids who were able to make in-app purchases in the 15 minute window iOS leaves open for multiple purchases.

Now, after Apple’s $32.5 million dollar settlement with the FTC, Google finds them under fire for the exact same reason. In fact lawyers who represented the class in the Apple lawsuit are spear-heading this case against Google.

Like Apple, Google requires a password authentication for the initial purchase in a session, in an Android app. However, Google has a 30 minute convenience window set up for their Android users. Basically this is the same as Apple’s 15 minute window, just longer.

The class action lawsuit, which was filed by lawyers in Pennsylvania and California, says that children are making unauthorized in-app purchases using their parents’ Android phones. In addition the suit alleges that games in the Google Play store are “highly addictive, designed deliberately so, and tend to compel children playing them to purchase large quantities of game currency,”.

The named plaintiff in the suit Ilana Imber Gluck, who is the mother to two boys aged 4 and 5 respectively, said she incurred $65.96 in unauthorized charges a far cry from the £4,000 one eight year old boy spent on Smurf Village.

The Android game in question is Pet Hotel. which allows users to spend as much as $99 in one click during an in app purchase.

Google has posted directions on how to enable a password for each and every in-app purchase in an effort to curb unauthorized spending. The same customizable functionality is also available through iTunes and even the PlayStation store.

This is the first such lawsuit against Google however Apple previously settled a similar suit in 2013 for a reported $100 million dollars in addition to the $32 million dollar settlement with the FTC earlier this year. Apple’s CEO Tim Cook, equated the new FTC settlement to “Double Jeopardy”
