How did this end up approved and released by the store?
Because no app is approved or verified on the play store.
On the first report of an abuse or something like that Google will take a closer look first before it removes.

I thought everything on Google Play was safe because they had checked it before accepting it. Thanks for warning us it's not safe.
I assume they have Android Bitcoin wallets on Google Play. What are the well known safe free ones as I'm considering using one? Are there any fake ones I should stay away from besides the one in the OP?

ive recently been warned about blockchain.info wallet app, and the Apple IOS Version of Mycelium wallet (though some reasearch leads me to believe the android one is fine, & is also listed on bitcoin.org, i was planning on starting a thread for users to advise on the best wallet of choice for both IOS & Android.

How do you report the app? can i do in on my web browser? i assume the more people that report it the faster its removed.
I have only heard the Mycelium wallet's name before, probably off bitcoin.org, but I haven't heard any reviews about it. Finding reviews for smart phone wallets is harder than for laptop wallets because more people prefer to use laptops for large amounts of Bitcoins.
Thanks for the advice, i suposed that all the apps downloaded from Google Play were safe and revised for google.

i was going to use these guys (the website) the other day, but changed my mind at the last minute and opted for a bitcoin ATM instead.
