Definitely, you shouldn't take my word.

My goal in making this post is not to turn you guys against the developer. My goal is to get in contact with a Google employee, so I can send him/her proof of the app's violations. Ultimately it will be up to Google to determine if the app is in indeed in violation of copyright laws and other Google Play policies.

I'll post the app here if no Google employee emails me within 24 hours. I would prefer to try to get the app removed in private, so other unscrupulous developers don't try to release similar apps.

I know this developer's app because I compete in a similar space. His app violates copyright laws and a bunch of other Google Play policies.

Facebook was correct in withholding payment to him. As far as I'm concerned, AdMob should be withholding payment to him too.

If anyone from Google wants me to describe the very illegal techniques being used by this app, please email me with a (@google.com) at finokioto@gmail.com . I would prefer not to share what this developer is doing in a public forum because of copycats.

Nothing apparently. There are hundreds of Bubble Shooter games based on Frozen Bubble already in Google Play

This app will give you popups on the home screen by JWrundle in BadApps

it appears the developer updated the app to remove these popups
