Is That SBSettings App In The App Store For Real?

BigBoss has pointed out a really interesting App Store app that has recently made it to the store, which not only looks exactly like the famous SBSettings jailbreak tweak, but is named the same as well. What’s even more funny is that it even has a [Cydia] tag with its name. Called SBSettings [Cydia], the fake app selling on the App Store for $1.99, is actually an alarm clock.

Looks like Apple isn’t even testing the new apps for approval anymore. According to BigBoss:

It is impossible to produce something like sbsettings outside of the jailbreak world due to its nature. Impossible. The fake sbsettings even takes the product description and screenshots right from our Cydia description.

My guess is someone submitted it as an alarm clock then changed the product description and screenshots after it was in AppStore to scam extra money from the public. Lol

You can check out the fake SBSettings on App Store at this link, in case it hasn’t been pulled already. Do NOT buy it!

Not to mention the fake 5 star reviews. The developer has another misleading app in the store as well that poses as a face recognition security app.

Maybe buying it would serve as a vote to show apples that we really want SB settings in the OS

Looks like it’s yanked. Tried just now, iTunes says it’s unavailable in the Canadian iTunes store.
