The developers have many claims to Apple, but recently almost every new accusation duplicates whose old one. Mostly, everything that the creators of the applications are limited - this is criticized the App Store, its policies, the size of the commissions and the absence of alternative sites for the placement of software. These claims are not deprived of meaning, but by and large there is nothing new. However, the developer recently appeared, who accused Apple in another. He said that the company does not follow the software at all, allowing the publication of fake applications and fake reviews. For that he filed to her.
Almost every review in the App Store is a lie. How will Apple fight it?
That developed by the Keyboard Creator for Apple Watch called Flicktype Costa Eleftheriu. At the beginning of this year, he told how some unscrupulous developers bypass the Rules of the App Store, publishing an application-clone application in the catalog of other popular applications, wind their high ratings and positive feedback, thereby pessimizing original applications. As a result, the present software, which they copied, is even with a lower rating than the one that was copied.
Clone applications in the App Store
The reason for filing a lawsuit on the part of Eleftheriu, from his words, it was not even an inaction of Apple, which after the developer's public speech removed some clones applications, and something much more serious. As Eleftheriu himself said, he made sure that in Cupertino simply use lawlessness, which was going on in the App Store, in his own interests. Instead of overcome this phenomenon, the company headed him. The developer made such a conclusion after a failed transaction for buying Apple its FlickType.

According to him, to reduce the amount of the transaction and not to leave the Eleftheri of another output, except to sell FlickType, Apple began to prevent the application in every way and earning them money. For example, the developer says, the company refused to remove part of the applications that were frank imitators of its own product, revise the apparent fake application rating, but that worse than all, the company slipped his fake advertising. Of the materials of the claim, it is not very clear what it means, but, apparently, it undermined the income from FlickType.
Why don't App Store Analogs
To say conscience, the claim itself, filed by Eleftheri to the court, may seem rather doubtful. Still, usually, when so small tsha is opposed to such a large corporation, it is almost always perceived as the desire for the first to sharpen and file popularity, and, if lucky, then make money on compensation. But after all, fake applications and recent feedback have recently become the usual phenomenon for the App Store. Despite the fact that there are almost no applications, clones that use the screenshots of original applications, quite a lot.

But worse in this situation, what Apple is a state in the state. She has its own rules that it practically does not change, perceiving the external impact as an attempt to undermine its legitimacy. After all, if an alternative application stores existed on IOS, the developers could simply leave the App Store and go to the side. But, since they have no such opportunity, I believe that any claims to Apple, the more such, should be considered with special addiction. They may not make sense.
