that Kosta Eleftheriou, the iOS developer who previously highlighted a number of scam apps in Apple’s App Store, has once again brought to light a number of shady apps attempting to steal money from users. This time, many of them have made their way to the Mac App Store, giving users pop-ups that make it difficult to quit an app without agreeing to a subscription.
These apps have managed to make it through Apple’s review system it seems without the company even noticing. The first of these suspicious apps was noticed by Edoardo Vacchi and is called My Metronome. Vacchi, Eleftheriou, and other users note that the app locks and won’t allow a user to quit it using keyboard shortcuts until they agree to a $9.99 a month subscription.
Eleftheriou said that it “seems like this developer has experimented with various techniques over the years of preventing people from closing the paywall.” Eleftheriou found multiple other apps in the app store employing similar measures.This App Store app immediately asks you for money and then *disables* the “Quit” option so that you can never close it!
