Thanks for the heads up.  Does the Android store have a "report" button?

Thanks for flagging this, that's just ridiculous - I hope it gets taken down soon before too many fall victim to it.

Wow, thank you to notify the community about this fake program. I do not understand how the Play Store allows fake programs appear on the apps repository, the outcome will be a nightmare for the people losing their valuable crypto.

Wow, thanks for reminding. But the link you provided above does not jump to the play store, but to another website, the app on the play store should be safer because there are professionals monitoring it.
Anyway, protect your private key all the time.

MyEtherWallet doesn't have a app on the play store so don't download anything at all, they are all fakes.

in his official site myetherwallet, not have I seen them display or announcements about myetherwallet mobile app. now they also do not recommend login using private key.

metamask and hardware wallets are the best choice and recommendation from myetherwallet.
thank you for your info.
