I'm amazed that app stores either it's Apple, Google and even Microsoft don't seam to have " Name " filters that actually works as that would very easy make it much harder to upload and share things like this that has a very similar or close app names as the genuine ones. In this case it's just 3 letters, s, k and y in the first word. That would nip alot of the crap that floats around and also annoy those that deserves it.

In addition to Google with its Google Play, this time is Apple's "smart" detection system that is not working? It's turning out to be fashionable.
