This is a "great" scam. I can't belive people is falling for it. But worst, I can't believe Apple "stantards" approved this one. It is incredible the amount of people that doesn't read at all. Not even the small description.
Not sure if typo or insult.
unless they changed it before now, the text specifically reads that its a tutorial app, and has tips, not pretending to be a full Word client... mind you, how many people bought it not reading the text fully? how many dident look at the screen shot? And if that was a lot of people, i am releasing a Microsoft Excel and Outlook app for the iPhone/iPad later on... free money from what i can only imagine are people with…
Yes, I'm sure Microsoft won't sue you for trademark violation at all .

I'm willing to bet a fair number didn't read it. Given one of the reviews: > Very Stupid App!!!! This is just a waste of money. Don't buy this app because you cannot even write a document!!!!!! But that's about par for the course. The dissatisfied ones are always the loudest. I do highly doubt they had permission to use the Microsoft trademark in that way though.
> I'm willing to bet a fair number didn't read it. Why would I? I'd personally have assumed that no Apple reviewer would ever permit a developer named "Super Racing Real Games" to use the Microsoft Word logo and name for an app. They're supposed to be there to protect against this sort of stuff, so I can't blame folks for not reading too closely.
no... They are here to protect their bottom line, their business, their interests, then, maybe, their customers... Its a business, not a charity. App seems to be missing now, so cant confirm its the Word Logo, but i dont think it was the actual Word Logo... and if you are blindly buying apps based on their name, well, I will sell you the Golden Gate Bride*

You could just stop developing for Apple. I hear Android is an "open" platform.
Yeah, but Java no thanks :)

You're probably joking, but in case you're not aware, it's possible to develop Android apps in many languages other than Java. Other JVM languages like Scala [1,2] are perhaps the easiest. C and C++ (and feasibly other languages that can call C libraries) are supported through the NDK [3]; there's even a project to use Objective-C on Android using the NDK [4]. It's also possible to use scripting languages such as Pyt…

I also agree that Apple has a right to curate their store. But I disagree that the only store I should be allowed to buy from is Apple's.
Then don't buy an iOS device.

Yes! But also convince everybody else not to buy iOS devices so that the market gets Apple to improve its behavior.
