Scam Alert: iMaps Claims That It Uses Google Maps, But It Does Not


Scam Alert: iMaps Claims That It Uses Google Maps, But It Does Not

Don’t be fooled by a new app that recently arrived in the App Store. Despite its claims, the $0.99 iMaps app does not use Google Maps behind the scenes. Instead, the app offers something that iOS 6 users are already getting for free — Apple’s own maps version!
According to iMap’s iTunes page:
★ Supports iPhone 5 Retina 4-inch Display ★
★ Supports iOS 6 and Later ★
Finally Google Maps is back to iOS 6 and Later.
Now you can move around the world with a Swipe of your Finger with iMaps®.
Main Features:
Find your current location.
Search for any address, city, or country all over the World with detailed result of the address, the latitude, and the longitude.
Drop/Remove Markers.
Air Printing.
Standard Mode and Classic Mode.
Map View, Satellite View, and Hybrid View.
And much more …
This isn’t true. In fact, the app’s legal link goes to Cupertino’s Mapscopyright page:

iMaps - Don't Be Fooled

Hopefully, Apple will do something soon and pull this app!
