As "stealing" app in the App Store

An interesting story is Noizio application creator Cyril Kovalin. While he was negotiating with Apple about unlocking developer account, enterprising Chinese literally "stole" the application and released it under the name.

Chinese guy Ding Shi (Shi Ding) did not want to become a "thief." The whole point of love. Noizio loved his girlfriend and the guy decided to go up in her eyes. And I do not come up with anything better than to copy the application up to the name, icons and sounds.

And all came to light at the time of publication of the application in the Product Hunt. Here it is necessary to digress. "MakRadar" already I told Noizio a program for the Mac. On the Product Hunt Noizio received high ratings of other developers. Some of them have found application for iOS and published in his account. What unspeakably surprised Kovalin Cyril and his friends. "We did a version for iOS, - Kirill said. - Of course, we were very surprised, but did not require removal of the application. Instead, we find the author in China and wrote him a letter that will block his account in Apple ».

In fact, Cyril did not have any opportunity to influence the Chinese "thief" as a real Noizio account in the App Store was still locked. However, the text translated using Google Translator and waited.

A few days later came the reply. Ding Shi apologized and wrote that he did everything for love.

Shi Ding asked not to remove the app from the App Store, and has promised to transfer all rights. And indeed, after unlocking your account Noizio Chinese sent source applications and transfer all rights to Noizio account. But the story did not end there: "We are, of course, a good laugh, but then offered Shi Ding yet to release the app, just with a different icon. We even painted two icons, and allowed him to use all of our sound. "

Now in the App Store, there are two very similar applications, only one called Noizio, and the second - iSound.
