Hi @AntonioRedondo

I found this app on the Google Play Store. This guy just took your source code and put it on the Store, without warning this is free software...

As you are the owner of the source code, feel free to open a request to google here to remove the false app from the Store, if it's your wish ;)

Don't forget to tell Google that:

Maybe add a screenshot, a link to this repo...

Hey @Poussinou,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I cannot believe that a big company like Ingic is blatantly ripping my app in such a way.

I've reported this to Google.

Poussinou commented 7 years ago

At least 4 open-source apps are currently uploaded on their Google developer account... Yours is just one of them...

If you have some time, you can spend one hour or so to review other apps about android monitoring on the Store. Some of them might be "Another monitor" but with ads in it and without gnu gpl license... Then report them to Google. (It's a little bit boring, but useful...) If you do so, please copy past the links of the apps you reported here, so that I can track the fake developers ;) thanks

PS : btw, thanks for this app ;)

AntonioRedondo commented 7 years ago

Yeah, I see this other app of them is stolen from here.

Which are the other apps?

Poussinou commented 7 years ago

More than four in fact, sorry for this mistake^^

AntonioRedondo commented 7 years ago
