Amazon pairs increased in-app purchase limit with new parental controls

Android developers with apps in the Amazon Appstore can now charge more than $20 for in-app purchases, reports TechCrunch.

The update, which brings the Amazon Appstore in line with Apple’s App Store and Google’s official Google Play service, was rolled out after Amazon updated its Appstore’s parental controls. According to Amazon’s developer FAQ, customers can change the settings on their devices to require either their Amazon.com password or a four digit PIN in order to complete in-app purchases.
