    clearly... fake reviews... and they are doing quite well.. since they are currently #17 on top grossing apps USA

    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lock-my-screen/id451432871?mt=8

    basically what this app does... is it replaces your lockscreen picture with their picture.

    question for you guys:
    why on earth does apple even approves these type of fake apps, i dont mind if they write in description that this app is for entertaining purposes and it is just a prank app or whatever, but they are advertising this app as a locking app, as a safety app....
    they have a disclaimer on end...
    but #### me that is dirty....

    i know apple gets 30% of the sales... but �������� me in ass, that looks so unprofessional apple....

    I feel like apple doesn't give that much of a shit to go through app reviews

    Unfortunate yes, but those kind of reviews aren't anything new the store.

    I'm starting to not trust apple reviews either I knew people could fake them but I didn't know companys could actually remove bad ones until people started complaining about capcom arcade removing the free daily plays. One minute lots of reviews saying they had removed them then I looked again later and they were gone.

    Your right though there is a lot of scam software on the appstore and if it was really reviewed by apple it wouldn't be there.

    Whoever buys that app deserves to be ripped off.
    Seeing as iDevices come with two types of password protection, you don't need an app for it!


    TO ANYONE WHO BOUGHT THIS APP: I am a banker and I have some inheritance for you to collect. Just give me your credit card details.

    Goodness, I don't understand how that many people could for it to make it number 12 on top grossing. Lol at AppStore customers.
