There are at least two fake apps have surfaced on the Google Play Store that use the same icon as iFruit in an
attempt to mimic the real thing.
The deceptive part about these apps is that the developer publicly listed appears as “Rockstar Game,” suggesting
that these knock-offs originate from Rockstar Game.
Remember: unlike Apple's iOS store, the Google Play Android app store is not moderated. Google is more relaxed
with its app approval process than Apple and the firm’s operation of its Play Store has resulted in malware, fake
apps, and knock-off experiences in the past.
