Microsoft continues to approve questionable apps for the Windows Store

As I’ve reported to you so many times before, some of the apps published in the Windows Store are nothing else than spam entries supposed to steal people’s money and capitalize on the lack of well-known software solution.

A new tool that got the green light for the Store today is called Windows 8.1 HD Player, and even though it might sound like a great deal for those who already installed Microsoft’s latest OS update, it’s not.

The app comes with a price of $9.99 (€7.50) and doesn’t even offer a trial version, thus forcing users to buy a full license even if they only want to try out the program.

What’s more, the two screenshots published in the Store reveal nothing about it, while the description shown to users is full of typos and spelling mistakes.

You can see the new listing for yourself in the Store and, as always, make sure you double-check every app you wish to buy.
