Hi, I would want to know if it is a problem to upload similar apps to Google Play.
For example:
I can create a app.
Then, using the same code (but making the changes to create new packages, new name for the app, new images, etc) create another similar app.
Then, another one
…
…
Is this a problem?
I can see lots of developers that has 20-30 or 40 similar apps and they have not problems, but I have read at this forum that this can be a problem (someone called it “theming apps”).
If those apps are legal and the people likes them, Why it should be a problem?
Thank you.
Yes, I know that most of those apps has similar codes, but I mean if it is a problem that i upload lots of similar apps with my developer account, but making some minor changes (in the wallpapers example, changing images, name of the app, package name…).
I think in your case it shouldn’t be a problem, i mean, Google will ban people who upload similar content, but since you are changing the images and theme of the wallpapers you are indeed offering something new and possibly valuable to the users
This German company automatically generates apps by wrapping Facebook fan pages. They currently have 32 developer accounts, all with the maximum number of apps:
even I know many forum members here which do use this technique to get more revenue. You can even copy paste app description across such apps. Google will wake up only when someone throws water on their face.
