Apple removes paid copycat version of "Travel Frog", you may have a fake "son"

Recently, according to Techweb, Apple App Store has removed a copycat version of "Travel Frog" that cost 30 yuan.

This game, called "Travel Frog," has an extra dot in its name and costs 30 yuan. The production company is called "Song Yang." According to players, the game is similar to WeChat's "Jump Jump" after it is opened, and has nothing to do with Japan's Travel Frog.

The free game "Tabi Kaeru" from Japan has gained a lot of popularity in China in a short period of time, and its copycat versions have also emerged in large numbers.

Let's first take a look at the official version in the App Store. The production company is Hit-Point Co., Ltd., and the App Store rating is 4.3. Importantly, except for some Android Chinese versions, the game currently only has a Japanese version in the App Store:

The copycat version that was removed from Apple's App Store not only requires a 30 yuan fee, but its gameplay is also completely different from the genuine Traveling Frog.

In addition, according to incomplete statistics from Interface News reporters, when searching for "Travel Frog" on the App Store, there are endless copycat games appearing.

Currently, there is no Chinese version of this game on the App Store, but there is already a copycat game called "Travel Frog Chinese Version":

One game copied the name directly and added Japanese words in brackets, and its rating was 1.6:

This game, called Travel Frog, not only completely copied the Japanese version’s interface, but also players reported that ads kept popping up:

In addition, with the popularity of Traveling Frog, games such as "Traveling Frog Chinese Remake", "Frog Travel Buddhist Game", and "Frog Travel Buddhist Cultivation" have appeared in the App Store.

The rampant existence of a large number of copycat games reflects the incomplete supervision and immaturity of China's copyright ecology. When players download the game from the App Store, they may have no choice but to carefully screen it to avoid downloading copycat games.
