Both Apple and Google stopping new apps with 'Flappy' in title

4.4
Both Apple and Google are now rejecting new apps with the word "Flappy" in their title. According to Indie developler Ken Carpenter and his recent tweet his upcoming game, Flappy Dragon, had failed the approval process for the iOS app store.

According to Carpenter, Apple told him his app was in violation of the below section of App Store Review Guidelines:

22.2: Apps that contain false, fraudulent or misleading representations will be rejected

We found that your app, and/or its metadata, contains content that could be misleading to users, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.

We found your app name attempts to leverage a popular app.App Store Review Guidelines



How do you feel about Apple and Google refusing to publish games attempting to capitalize on the recently pulled Flappy Bird?

Yeah I think it sucks he threw in his time to make a rejected game but it shouldn't be flappy anything, he just wants app popularity

Flappy Dragon is available on the Android. At least it was when I got it, idk about now. But I completely agree with Apple and Google. People trying to re-make Flappy Bird and trying to make money now that its gone. Where's the originality?

I mean, Flappy Bird wasn't something GREAT and probably was inspired by a lot of stuff, but for people to try and make different versions of it? Come on!
