If only there was a website I could use to contact other like minded people where they could vote on posts they like and discuss them in comment sections.

Oh, wait

The problem is that you’re framing this as some kind of technical issue that no one else has reproduced. Did you follow any kind of common sense due diligence? How is this any different from blaming Google/Gmail because you fell victim to a phishing/scam email?

    Others have reproduced it, see others comments. Perhaps for them the ranking changed slightly but the fact is a scam app is ranked as high as serious companies.

    Gmail / Google are open, the App Store is closed and supposedly vetted and guarded. Apple sells to its customers security, quality, and trust. It’s one of the reasons one pays 2x for an iPhone. All of these promises of a better ecosystem have been broken through this experience.

    One of the supposed advantages of the closed App Store is to absolve (to some extent) the user of having to do said due diligence.

    Also, it’s not like it’s impossible. Google are doing it well - show me a scam app that’s in the top 10 of the play store for bitcoin, banking, finance etc. Hardly any to be found.
