    There’s been plenty of malicious apps found in the past. Though, I’m sure the play store isn’t much better. Disappointing that Apple will bend devs over a Barrel sometimes but they don’t find shit like this.

      The play store is exponentially worse. It doesn’t even compare. I am not a fan of walled gardens, but let’s not pretend Google is even close to being on the same level as Apple here when it comes app quality. The play store is a mess, they let everything on there.

      I never said that there wasn’t any malicious apps on the App Store, just that this was the first one that I have heard about that actively tries to fake being the official one and managed to get vetted.
