BBC is another case, where top "official" results aren't. Even top publishers have a hard time dealing with it. I called Disney about this, and after about 15 minutes they figured out "don't go there" (referring to the Store). Disney, for example, is a top publisher for the Store, yet all sorts of fake Disney content is on there. Only if FileZilla is extremely diligent would it work. For most users, they'll be rolling the dice just as much as they are now. If you're lucky there may be av official app, with no way to verify it's the right one. The Store is a joke.įor this particular case, if FileZilla is popular, you'll have several fake paid apps. I emailed Satya and the manager of the Store, to book effect. Probably some folks have their bonus tied to " number of apps published " and that's that. MS is not interested in fixing this problem.

Over a month or two, Netflix had to contact MS several times, and MS didn't suspend or remove the publisher. Contacting Store support results in them telling you the app " works as designed ", and if you have a problem with the fake publisher, MS suggests " leave a review ".Įven Netflix had a hard time preventing fakes from being published. There is a fake Facebook app, paid, that claims to be published by Corporation". The second top result for Facebook is a fake scam app, claiming to be official. Ha! The Windows Store is a scum-ridden wasteland.
