Hi

I really like it, is super cool app, well designed, with good performance, etc.

I don't know what's the license of this project. But it seems like someone just forked and created an almost-exact (if not exact) copy of your app.

Just wanted to let you know in case you want to report it or do something about it.

Good luck and keep up the awesome work.

Well, thanks for your support and this is not the first time. Let me try to find a way to deal with it, but to be honest, I have no hope for the result.

I think if you set a restrictive enough license for this project, you can report apps to Google and they will remove them from PlayStore for sure. It all depends in how much you are ok with people using the source code (since it's open source).

Good luck anyways

Also http://gpl-violations.org/ is online again, so you may find some help there.

Hi @WangDaYeeeeee

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:
