Flappy Bird, a "successful" application with a dubious history and the fragility of the App Store

  In the video clip above you have presented the game Flappy Bird, a title that has become extremely popular in recent days, quickly reaching the first position in the top of the most downloaded free creations of App Storeof the Although the gameplay of the title is as simple as possible, the title still generates 50.000 dollars daily, according to some analyses, but the way it reached the top is at least suspicious. The game is available in App Store since May and only now has it come to everyone's attention, some speculating that in the middle it would be about manipulating the algorithms of the App Store using virtual robots.

  Despite his unexpected success, the will will be withdrawn from App Store in the following hours, his developer claiming that all this attention is "destroying" his life. Upset by the way his application was commented, the developer decided to withdraw it completely and not to sell it to any other interested party, although he maintained that he would continue to develop other games for iOS.

  To be honest, all the drama of the developer seems to be related to something else and I think that he just demonstrated very easily how a trivial application can be transformed into a hit with the help of a network of virtual robots, this demonstrates the fragility of the App Store .
