Hi @rignaneseleo

I found this app on the Google Play Store. This guy just took your source code, added some ads in it 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:

@rignaneseleo There is also this one !

I just submitted an Objection Complaint on the Play Store for both those apps.

I stated the following:

"This app was taken and slightly changed from an app already on the Play Store "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.rignanese.leo.slimfacebook".

Isn't this considered a Copyright Violation?

Thank you very much for your time and understanding."

Why not do the same for those apps?

Poussinou commented 6 years ago

What is the URL you used to submit this complain? You want me to do the same?

EDIT: a DMCA takedown request is still the best way to remove a copy from the store, but we can try to do something :)

In the Play Store, go to one of the apps in question, scroll down to the bottom and select the "Flag as inappropriate", on the next screen select the "Other" option and finally enter the information in the text box and submit.

Thanks guys. I did it. Keep reporting these type of apps. 👍

The app from the first link is still available in Google Play store and I haven't found any link to the original app. Did the DMCA takedown not succeed?

I was referring to the licence violating app, as it is still in the playstore.
