What does ChainPatrol do about fake versions of your app?

ChainPatrol finds the fake versions of your app before your users do. Clones, copycat listings, and malicious extensions get caught across official stores, extension registries, and third-party APK sites. We file every takedown and track it to removal, with the full history visible in your dashboard.

ChainPatrol scans the Apple App Store, Google Play, browser extension registries, third-party APK sites and download mirrors, and the ad platforms sending users to all of them.

Catch cloned apps before they gather installs

Apple App Store and Google Play get scanned daily. A listing built from your name, icon, or screenshots gets flagged as soon as it publishes, and the takedown goes in while its install count is still in double digits.

Clear squatted listings out of store search

Keyword-squatted apps and near-miss names sit directly above your real listing when someone searches for you. ChainPatrol files against them on the same brand and trademark grounds as a full clone, so the search result your users see is yours.

Remove malicious extensions from the browser stores

Extensions that overlay your interface, capture logins, or redirect sessions get reported to Chrome, Firefox, and Opera for removal. Most carry your logo in the listing, which is what makes them worth installing and what makes them removable.

Track clones across APK mirrors and download sites

Not every install comes from a store. Repackaged builds and modified APKs circulate through unofficial download portals and mirrors, and those get traced back to the host, with takedown requests filed to the hosting provider and the registrar behind the site.

Take down the ads pointing at fake downloads

Some users never reach a store at all. A paid ad bidding on your brand name sends them to a fake download page instead, and ChainPatrol files those takedowns across Google Ads, Facebook, and Instagram.

Every flagged listing goes to ChainPatrol’s reporting operations team before anything gets filed, which is what keeps legitimate apps, resellers, and regional partners out of your takedown queue.

Each report goes through direct store and registry channels, built to the trademark and technical requirements of that platform on the first submission. Nothing bounces back for missing documentation.

Filing continues until the listing comes down, with escalation through secondary contacts and hosting providers when a store or an APK host stalls.

Why the best brands don’t handle app takedowns alone

Why the best brands don’t handle app takedowns alone

Most brands either report fake apps manually or use a tool that finds them and hands the problem back. We find them and remove them, across every store and registry, without your team touching it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How ChainPatrol finds clones of your app, gets them removed, and keeps them from coming back.

General

Any mobile app, browser extension, or app store listing that uses your brand name, logo, or assets without permission to trick users, steal credentials, or spread malware.

Domain and phishing protection stops fake websites. This covers fake software: apps, extensions, and store listings that carry your name without permission.

Detection

Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, and Opera's extension store, plus third-party APK repositories. Coverage extends across 15+ stores and registries in total.

Our systems scan new submissions and listings across every store and registry we monitor. Impersonators get flagged as soon as they publish, not after users start downloading them.

Every flagged app or extension is reviewed by our team, not just an algorithm. That keeps false positives low, so we don't waste your time on listings that turn out to be legitimate.

Takedowns

It depends on the store and the type of violation. Official app stores generally move faster than third-party APK sites, which is why we escalate through direct reporting channels instead of a generic abuse form.

In addition to official stores, we track secondary APK hosts, mirrors, and direct download portals, filing takedown requests directly with hosting providers and domain registrars.

No. This is fully managed. We detect, file, and track every takedown, and you can see all of it in your dashboard. Your team doesn't have to touch it unless you want to.

Coverage

Yes. Fake wallet extensions and browser hijackers are some of the most damaging forms of app impersonation, and we monitor for them across Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.

A signed Letter of Authorization (LOA) giving ChainPatrol permission to act on your brand's behalf for trademark and brand enforcement.

We escalate through direct channels and keep filing until it's removed. You're not left chasing a report that went nowhere.
