 There are a bunch of snakeoil and typically closed source apps with ads
 injected in them under the name of Tor for iOS in Apple App Store. Some of
 them have pretty good rating (which I believe is because of lack of any
 official or even free and trusted-community-based Tor Browser for iOS).
 Now that 'Onion Browser' is finally free for everyone to download and use,
 I think we should get more serious about taking those fake ones down.
 Specially those that use the name or logo of Tor.

 If they have hundreds of 5star reviews, who knows how many people are
 actually using them and thinking they're anonymous and secure online.
