Thank you for your reminder. I have also encountered many fork applications like this. If they can comply with the GPL 3.0 open source agreement, I have no objection. However, the vast majority of these fork applications violate the GPL 3.0 agreement by modifying the source code and closing the source, posing security risks to users who use them. I have submitted feedback to the Play Store, but they have not taken any further action. It seems that the only way to avoid all of this is to submit Read You to the Play Store. I have already paid the developer account fee and now I am waiting for a good opportunity.

There is no source for the application in Google Play and there is no link to the redone source. All links lead only to your repository, this is not true and violation of the license

No. If you look at their Play Store description, you can see that they have shared the source code.

@preoliyne If they shared the source code, then it is correct and I have no objection to it.
