Hope the he can rectify the situation, and in the worst case, possibly rebrand.
I never understood the App Store rating figures. Here's the scam app: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/keywatch-watch-keyboard/id1499... Apparently the paid for 5 stars comments have been deleted, all that's left are comments in the 1 star range but the app is still rated 4.1/5. It's not the first time I see this discrepancy and makes it very hard for a user to understand who to believe: the 1 star comments or the very…
Isn't it obvious? Fake reviews will be deleted, but ratings won't be. So disregard the rating and look at the reviews.
If the OP doesn't like it he can make his own Iphone/iwatch with it's own app store and sell billions of phones and watches. Then use those to distribute his app.
Oh my god, they don't even bother implementing the app any more... It reminds me of my first App Store experience. I made an app that was somewhat successful (about 2000€ a month, enough to pay for a students living expenses). Within short time, a chinese speaking developer cloned it. They copied the icon (slighlty different color), they copied the UI, they even copied all the text in the dialog boxes. They released…
Sorry for your experience. Its a very difficult situation. However the issue is if Apple takes a view, they open themselves up to legal risk - they are not the court so its not their place to determine copyright infrigement. Rather, if you get a court order stating infringement, then Apple has to take down the offending app. Whilst yours may be a clear cut case, it is not too difficult to think of examples where it i…
" But I like Apple's walled garden because they verify and quality check everything on there "
I think it's time for freelance developers to behave like companies. Write big tech support once, wait a week and if the issue isn't solved, contact a lawyer and let them handle it. Otherwise you will be eternally bouncing around customer support departments until you write a tweet in the hope of getting noticed by somebody afraid of a PR disaster.
