APP STORE AND DOWNLOAD SITE TOLDREMOVED

A fake app in a store carries your logo and inherits your credibility, and the download counts can run into thousands before anyone reports it. Unofficial download sites are worse, because nothing checks them at all.

How it works

How fake apps get removed.

01

Sweep

Official stores and unofficial download sites checked for apps using your brand, logo, or product names.

02

Verify

The app ID, its digital signature, and what is inside it compared against your real releases.

03

Report

The abuse team at each store, plus whoever hosts any unofficial download site.

04

Remove

Chased until it is pulled from the store, with evidence saved and repeat developer accounts flagged.
