Hey there
In Switzerland and Germany (and propably other countries), this app:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/who-cares-me-instadetector/id1059156366?mt=8
is on Charts ranking in free at #1.
Last year the same app was in the app store and pulled for stealing passwords:

http://www.cnet.com/news/third-party-instagram-app-pulled-after-stealing-passwords/
Now the SAME APP is BACK AGAIN.
With all 1-Star ratings and "don't download, your account will be hijacked" comments,
apple doesent do ANYTHING about it.
I wrote Apple Support but no answer to date.
PS: A technical analysis of the stealing mechanism is to be found here:
http://peppersoft.net/hacking-the-hacker/
My app was not allowed on the app store because of "no entertrainment functionality",
but such apps are allowed? Sometimes I think the app store guys are corruptible.
How long does it take to apple for pull this?
Why does apple allow such sh*t?
How can such an app be ranking number one?
Are they blind?
As a serious developer I feel pissed. Not that they didn't allow my app,
but that they dont react and accept such things.
Greetings
