What the hell is this????

Remember our talking about finding bad apps with low ratings?

Remember our talk about becoming the "Nordstroms" of stores in quality of service?

How does an obvious rip off of the super popular Temple Run, with no screen shots, garbage marketing text, and almost all 1-star ratings become the #1 free app on the store?

Can anyone see a rip off of a top selling game? Any anyone see an app that is cheating the system?

Is no one reviewing these apps? Is no one minding the store?

This is insane!!!!!!

Don’t publish on app stores. They’re software ghettos that take your money and shove you right next to shovelware rip-offs.

Would you willingly set up your business in a strip mall next to scammers and broken windows?

There is no other way to publish on iOS, by design.

If you want to access the most lucrative smartphone market segment in the richest country, you have to play ball with Apple. There is no other choice.

Many apps can be PWAs, these can be installed without any approvals.

It is used even for some quite demanding apps like low-latency game streaming by Nvidia GeForce Now, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Amazon Luna, etc. They don't use native apps because Apple rules are ridiculous.
