Information shared that Google does not accept the new application name posted to Google Play titled Flappy

Accordingly, some software developers have just shared that they have just been denied by Apple and Google to post new software they just uploaded, titled " Flappy ".

Specifically, developer Ken Carpenter said that when he sent the game Flappy Dragon to Apple and Google, he had received a refusal notice saying that the name of the application coincides with another very popular application ( namely Flappy Bird game ).

Previously, there were also articles saying that now on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play ( Android ) markets, there are some " naive " Flappy Bird games. In particular, when Flappy Bird has been removed, these games have a very high number of downloaders.

Currently, just type the word Flappy Bird in the search application frame, the user will also receive countless results with the same application as Flappy Bird with the same way. In it, the game is currently ranked in the No.1 position of the outstanding free app category on the App Store.

According to techcrunch, when contacting Apple and Google to ask if this is a policy to approve the software being applied, neither company has made any comment.
