So this weekend when I was showing a friend Egg! on the AppStore I noticed that someone copied my idea and released a copycat app. It's pretty clear that my app was released first. I shouldn't be surprised because this kind of thing happens all the time. But it is kind of sad. I don't know if Apple has anything in their terms of service about this and I don't even know if I want to pursue it. I guess if it was costing me millions of dollars in lost revenue that would be a different story.
I've made a commitment to donate all ad revenue from Egg! to organizations or individuals in need, so this copycat app doesn't really affect me one way or another. It is just sad that someone would take your original idea and pass it off as their own.
On an unrelated note, I'm away from my desktop so I'm writing and posting this entry completely from my iPhone.
