What happened to Google? I remember back in the days when Apple said that they will reviewed all the apps before they appear on the App Stores. Now it looks reviewing apps before release is not cool anymore.

I don't think Google ever manually reviewed, they've been adding more automated checks for a while though. And I think Apple still manually review.

It totally failed to keep crap out of the store. The population of apps still fell to Sturgeon's Law. There was more opportunity for reviewers to do arbitrary crap to look like they were doing a job. Perhaps they did keep some of the more obvious violations out.
