After the successful removal of a fake wallet from Android store (Google Play)  (see the link below for reference)
I think it's time to get together and report all those fake/scam apps from all the mobile stores.
To make an impact and really get the apps removed, there should be quite many reports, that's why I think it's a good idea go have a place/thread where you can follow and if there is a case of a fake app, you can easily report it.

But the thread is not self moderated. Spammers and no good users would perhaps come in to spread fake or just paid shilling rumours and even if it's detected it would create a tower of spam post.

Why do people experiment when it come to getting a bitcoin wallet. It's so safe getting a standard
An electrum wallet is good

There have already been multiple threads/posts on here about exactly this issue. It started over 2 weeks ago.
The ONLY official place to download is: https://www.electrum.org/#home
Currently, the latest version is 3.3.3

But there is a wallet soft ware board. It would be of assistance https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=37.0

You mean, a good electrum wallet is good.

Actually, what is testable and verifiable as good is one version of one piece of software, with a signature, and with a history of use and experience of that version.

Good idea. Google Play Store is full of shit and dangerous apps to use. Maybe mass reporting of fake wallet could help to remove it faster and we would see less people losing money.
@Sharon121212, not everyone knows which wallet is safe to use, especially newbies. This is why often we can see people downloading unknown wallet apps. And when we talk about fake wallets, it may be difficult to realize that's not original wallet because in general everything looks same in original wallet and there is only small differences like uploader name, description, small number of downloads and etc.

Yeb Google App Store has a lot of dangerous Fake Phishing Apps there !

At the time  when Cryptopia was alive there was i guess maybe 6 - 8 Apps there for cryptopia , but Cryptopia hasnt released any App there and the most was just there to catch the Users login details !

But if you reporting there an App they normaly fast for get them deleted !

Mass reporting is all we can do to make the fake apps removed in google play store even though it is only for removing the fake apps from google play store. What do you guys think about a mass complain to google play store that they should be strict when adding a cryptocurrency related apps so, I think fake apps that are added to google play store would reduce (I hope so).

A fake app of POOCOIN exists in google playstore. It could be a phishing app for crypto traders to steal wallet information, then use that information to hack their wallets. Poocoin has not yet launched any such app, as they have not announced any official information in this regard. So this is a fake phishing app created by scammers just to hack the wallet of crypto users.
