Microsoft acknowledges that Windows Store is full of fake apps and will reevaluate the current policy

Like other application portals, Windows Store is inevitably surrounded by fake apps. For example, when you search for popular VLC (player) applications, you will also see ghost, which may confuse users ".Although Microsoft has been keeping silence on this phenomenon before, the company has now decided to face the reality-in addition to recognizing the existence of fake applications, the current policy for Windows Store will also be reevaluated.
 

How-to-Geek, a foreign media, found that the Windows Store ecosystem is far more polluted than a fake VLC app.

Because even WhatsApp, uTorrent, IMDB, Candy Crush, Adobe Flash Player, Spotify, Google Hangouts, Picasa, Clash of Clans, Pandora, Firefox, and other popular applications, there are also "fake paid versions ".

Of course, the more funny thing is that the FlappyBird game has not yet been released for Windows 8 (the number of fake and fake apps is also amazing ).

Microsoft made the following statement in a recent statement:

"We will strive to make Windows Store a high-quality experience for our customers and make it available to the widest range of developers. Based on feedback from customers and developers, we have recently taken actions to help users find applications with specific names and improve the overall experience of the app store.

These updates provide developers with clearer guidance and improve our ability to identify, review, and delete problematic apps. We recognize that there is still much work to be done and will re-evaluate the current policy to strike a balance between developers' needs and the quality of the applications the customer expects ".
