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?

All these stupid "Flappy Bird" games are terrible but this is just so stupid. Why can't an app have "Flappy" in the title? Utterly moronic.

Pretty happy to be fair. We had flappy birds and now what? Flappy dragons and other ones.

I've seen a lot of games with Flappy in the title ever since Flappy Bird started getting popular.

Good, I am sick of seeing wannabe flappy bird games on the top of the app store.

I think they're doing the right thing, i can see why they're doing it.

Flappy bird was a huge flop, and now developers are just milking the fact that it was taken off the market, by making crappy knockoff's of an already awful game.
