I downloaded iOthello - it's terrible - nobody would give this 5 stars. The other apps look just as bad.

One of the reviews stated it was 'the best reversi game around' - only it was a review for one of his other apps.. I think he typed in so many he confused himself.

Not content with fooling the masses with iOthello, he released it as 'Reversi Extended' too, which is exactly the same game, just with a different name and icon.

I could go on..

Dude just forget about other Apps in the store and code. If your App is truly awesome it will Market itself. And YES some developers doesn't have morals regarding lots of things, it's a fact like any business where money is involved. Best thing to do is to ignore everyone and just concentrate on your Apps because it's really useless to spend time checking other Apps.

It's good although to check the reviews on the competitors Apps to see what's the weak and the strong points in their Apps, that really helps in improving your own Apps.

Chill out buddy and remember that it's all about your Apps in the end and about developing something people will love.

Cheers,
