If I were Apple, the clones should not be on the App Store and Apple appears to be removing them. However, I don't really know if the OP's original submission should be approved either. Yes, it uses a different language, but the name is very similar, it's being released around the same time as a trend, it looks like a clone.
- InTheArena 5y agoYes. Apple still sucks at curation (as does google, as does Steam), and needs to be more consistent here.
- Semaphor 5y agoSteam curates? I always thought they let anything in considering what you can see on the later pages of some search.
- nazgulsenpai 5y agoSteam basically doesn't moderate content unless its illegal as a matter of policy. https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/27766192/view/ https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/27766192/view/
- wintermutestwin 5y agoExactly this. I am all too happy for a walled garden on my phone, but spend some of your $$$ actually curating it to prove that your walled garden is worthy. What we need is an ecosystem of competing curated app stores.
- andjd 5y agoHow does it benefit the Swedish consumer to ban a game that uses their native language because it's a clone of a game in English?
- coldtea 5y agoBy also banning Swedish I.P. apps when somebody makes a foreign clone of them.
- NoSorryCannot 5y agoAnd stealing bread is illegal for rich and poor alike!
- pmarreck 5y agoThere is no sale of a Swedish Wordle app that would impinge on a sale of an English Wordle app, so this reasoning makes no sense.
- amanzi 5y agoAn interesting question, which the author raises, is why Apple's App Store reviewers should care about a copycat of a third party website or app that does not exist on the App Store. (I can understand them not wanting copycats of existing App Store apps.)
