Earlier today I blogged about the complete and utter rip off of a really cool iPhone app from Realmac Software, Clear. Well the rip off version has been removed from the App Store quick smart, and the ‘not dev’ had this to say.

Clear app wasn’t my fault. Apologies to everyone upset. The acc was shared & unfortunately has my name in the Dev. Its been removed.

And that’s all she wrote….for now.

I posted the other week about an upcoming iPhone app named Clear, from Realmac, that looked really awesome and had a very unique UI (user interface). Well it seems that someone has gone and directly ripped off the UI of Clear, all of it’s functionality, named itself Clear-Todo, and has somehow managed to launch first….wtf

This is likely to get very messy seeing as Clear is currently going through the App Store approval process now, and is likely to launch later this week. Also, considering Apple’s recent push to kill off copy-cat applications, who is copying who?

Wow, the classiness of the Clear-Todo developer is amazing!
