Please excuse my ignorance, i don't use a lot of apps. Are you saying that unlike apple or google, basically there is no testing\policing of apps in our app store?
Less than apple, more than android

First, the snarky side of me has to ask, "Is Google without all of these problems??" :wink:Many things in the appstore need to be fixed:
The fake reviews and misleading/fake apps need to be fixed soon, I hope the WP store becomes more like windows 8 store for rating reviews and hopefully easier reporting of apps.
- Fake Reviews in the appstore
- misleading/fake apps
- Too many unnecessary 3rd party apps

i dont believe it. otherwise how can android app store rise by 3 lac apps in 8-9 months.
they do not test apps at all. and in the android store, u can see numerous apps with same name, icons and many similarity. developers just change a line of code in existing app, and upload it with their own name to get the credit of an published app.
I agree, but the problem is that I don't necessarily think that Microsoft should be the police agency to enforce IP rights. Just one example of why is take an app that isn't developed by the IP owner, but the developer may have approached the IP owner and worked with them on development, and has permission to use the IP involved. Microsoft isn't a party to that agreement, and really shouldn't be, since they are just the proprietor of the store where the goods are being sold. That puts the burden of enforcing IP rights on the owner of the IP. Yes, that's a daunting task, and I wouldn't want to have to monitor all of the possible outlets where rights can be infringed, but with the help of people like us in the community, those IP owners can be notified of possible violations, and they can choose whether to send a C&D or not.
There are a lot of fake apps in Windows Phone Store and what makes it worse is that it is a paid app! Most common fake apps are browsers. They using the exact name and logo/icon. There are also a lot of misleading apps. It makes Windows Phone Store clutters.
