I faced a very strange and incomprehensible thing in the Appstore and I decided to write about that.
I found there are 3 apps available on the App Store, Exactly same functionality, Same performance but small changes in graphic icons and the colors, As I know duplicating Apps in the Appstore are not allowed, These apps are duplicated but this is not the onliest reason I am writing to you.
Here is screen shot :
I tried to use the apps and one thing caught my attention ,which is common in the three ones;
At the first time of running the apps, You will see a slider and before you even see the homepage of the app, It asks you to give the app a rate.
Just take a look at the picture below, This Rate box will be opened just in 5 seconds after you open the app for the first time.

What I can not understand is how a user of the app should give a rate to an app while never seeing it or trying it?
This is a problem and the Apple team who are checking the apps before verifying it should care about this.
Also I did not understand what might be the reason for the existence of three different apps in the Appstore while these three are exactly the same as each other in the performance, functionality, running, interface and almost all the details? Why should there not be any control for stopping the growth of these duplicated apps?
