Comment on Ask HN: Does Apple not care about fake apps in the App Store?

Comments

Unfortunately, it seems they don't have efficient ways to prevent scams like that.

Your case reminded me the ledger fake app that was available there and lead to some millionaire losses.

Even more unfortunate is that the android store also isn't free from this risk =/

Ah, almost forgot, I wish good luck solving this issue!

Thanks! Its so weird that Apple claims the App Store monopoly is necessary to ensure they can vet apps and protect users - but then they don't even let you report an obvious scam.
