Chinese iOS pirate Kuaiyong launches web app store
A Chinese group which has made it its mission to take a bite out of Apple’s iTunes revenue share is at it again, launching a full web version of its iOS app store jam-packed with pirated content.
Chinese language app Kuayiong was originally launched at the tail end of last year to fill the gap left by the equally dodgy jailbreak app Installous.
Its mission: to allow local fanbois to download and install pirated apps on their iDevices without jailbreaking them in a quick, easy and secure manner – which was bad news for both Apple and community of iOS developers. Far from being squashed in double quick time by Apple’s legal team, however, Kuayiong has bemusingly been spared and now allowed to launch a web site version of its app which will help promote its services to an even broader audience.
