Reply to Review Process for Search Ads
Thanks for your reply.There is an Introducing Search Ads session tomorrow. We should get more information about how they really work.However, so far in the first beta, search ads are much worse than I could have imagined. They are completely irrelevant most of the time and favor copycat or competitor apps over genuine ones:- searching for hotel or restaurant shows you... game ads 😐- searching for famous trademarked names like twitter or snapshat shows you... competitor ads 😮- searching for specific app name like monument valley shows you... a copycat app ad 😠I really hope this will be fixed soon, as this is bad both for developers and customers (and eventually Apple itself).

How to deal with a copycat?
Hello,an app of mine was copied by another developper.Not just the app features, but all the materials on the app store:- Same app name, they just added a plus word- Almost same description. All the special wording and marketing carefully created was copied with very little changes.I wrote apple but they said to report a copyright infringement. But it’s not a copyright or official issue is it ? I don’t care if they copy my app, I care of them using same name and marketing in app store.How to deal with the situation ? Is it allowed in the app store to just copy any app, use same name adding a plus or pro, using same app description ? Doesn’t Apple disallow blatant copies of apps and app store materials ?The form apple asked me to fill is supposed to put me in contact with the copycat. But I don't care about that and expected App store authority to prevent such behavior. Please advise

Review Process for Search Ads
Hi,Will sponsored apps be more strictly reviewed ?My biggest worry is that copycat or low-quality apps might appear as the first search result.
