Impersonation apps on the App Store that mimic your product's UI, name, or functionality to deceive customers and harvest data.

Third-party APK stores

Counterfeit apps distributed through APKMirror, APKPure, and other third-party stores that bypass official review processes.

App takedown FAQ

Which app stores do you support? +

We handle takedowns on Google Play, Apple App Store, Samsung Galaxy Store, Huawei AppGallery, Amazon Appstore, and major third-party APK distribution sites like APKMirror and APKPure.

How long do app takedowns take? +

Google Play and the Apple App Store each run their own review of every report, and Apple's is usually slower than Google's. Third-party stores and APK mirrors vary widely. We tell you what to expect at the start.

What evidence do I need to provide? +

The link to the counterfeit app, proof the original is yours (your developer account, your published app, or your trademark), and ideally screenshots. We guide you through what each store requires.

What about apps that rebrand after takedown? +

We monitor for re-emergence. If the same developer republishes under a new name or account, we file again and escalate toward suspension of the developer account.

Do you handle APK mirror sites? +

Yes. We file DMCA and trademark complaints with APK mirror and distribution sites. For persistent offenders, we escalate to their hosting providers and domain registrars to get the entire site taken down.
