mystery google bundle in app store

Has anyone else come across this bundle in the app store and found it weird? I'm no expert, but there are a few things that flagged concerns, I can't find a way to raise it for some reason and I can't find a way to identify it in my account, can anyone here help me find out what it is and how to get it fixed?


Apart from having no recollection of having made the purchase in the first place, I'm unable to find any information about it on report a problem page either.


The first thing that appears strange is that the bundle only has 7 downloads, while other google apps have hundreds of thousands.


Secondly my app store shows that I have purchased the bundle. (see image 2)


All the apps in the bundle are all free, so why would anyone want to buy them?


Then the compatibility say IOS 16.3 and above, but since we're all on 18 now im surprised apple is still working with apps and bundles so far out of date. (see image 3). Can't figure out why gemini was in the bundle either?


The age rating information in the same image is also interesting to say the least, again and surprised by both Apple and Google for labelling their products in such lazy language.


I looked at the reviews and found that they were pretty uninformative as well, I wasn't able too leave a sarcastic review, I hadn't purchased it apparently! image 4.


Then i click on the developer link and it triggers an http request rather than a https request, is that normal or not? Does anyone know what this is?


I don't have a clue about technology and the technical jargon, can someone please translate this in a form I can understand?


thanks in advance

No. Why is it weird?

The Google Apps? What are you trying to fix?

Nothing indicates the number of downloads. You're only seeing reviews.

Purchased simply indicates that you have the apps. There was no fee. It's a free purchase.

That only tells you that the app works with 16.3 and higher. Devices with that software installed can run the app.

How so? Google allows access to the internet. It's probably overkill to rate 17+ but you can find pretty much anything online.

Most review are pretty useless, in my opinion.

A link to Google. Not really an issue.
