Lately we are finding a series of applications that reach the top of the board where Apple publishes the "payment successes" in the App Store. We often wonder why Apple allows certain applications to be shown at the top of that ranking, since it will grant them a greater number of downloads, however, the reality is quite different, this type of success is It is due not only to Apple's carelessness, but to infinite human stupidity, which often leads us to commit the most unlikely acts, at the expense of the clear wallet. We tell you what the new App Store scam is, called Location for WhatsApp, by a Spanish, and the funny responses from users.
Number one of the successes of the App Store, there it has been since last Friday, when I decided to capture the fabulous explanation by the only satisfied user of the application (which is rather all a troll). The application created by "cristina rodriguez", I write it as is, since it has preferred to ignore both accents and capital letters, promises to locate the users that we have in the WhatsApp agenda easily and quickly. There is no better way to give wings to jealous and snooping parents, or more profitable business than this.
The best of the matter is that the application has a 50% limited time introductory offerThe worst thing is that it is a real scam. The trick is that the girl has framed it in the leisure section, and not in the tools section, so at no time will she locate anyone, she simply gives us our own location, it is a rather macabre hobby and it does not work in absolute, but sold to 0,99€ and which is the most purchased in the App Store in this past week. If you have not read the heading of this article, I highly recommend it, at least it will make you smile at such a disaster.
Why isn't Apple taking action on App Store scams?
We return to the starting point, we wonder why Apple does not take action against this type of behavior. We know that the App Store often adopts practices more typical of the dictatorship that in the middle of the year 2016, we obviously speak when it decides to eliminate certain applications at a stroke for allegedly breaching any of the three million clauses included in the App Store contract. In Cupertino, the hand has never shaken to take this type of action, but sometimes I really think that for a period of time they stop observing the App Store to see what is cooked in it, and that is when this happens.
We would say that a certain application can go unnoticed when it does not have ratings, but in the case of Location For WhatsApp, we find that the application has two stars out of five (and too many are), despite being located at the top of the ranking of paid hits, and perhaps Apple should take this as an indication that the app isn't up there on its own merits. No one was going to download a paid app that doesn't really work, even more so when Apple returns your money if the application has not met your expectations.
It is a real shame to see Location For WhatsApp above Afterlight, Pixomatic or INKS, however, the App Store is declining in the quality of content significantly lately, we are no longer talking only about the huge number of "PayToWin" applications that we find ourselves, but in that they are less and less cared for, and are given to real aberrations. We assume that they are free market issues, and that Apple decides not to break into human stupidity when they decide to spend a euro on these types of applications that are blatant scams. The question is Looking at the ratings and reviews, what prompts someone to download it?
We have not included the link to the app for obvious reasons.
