Episode description

Today I dive deep into my recent encounter with another copycat app developer, affectionately dubbed “Copycat Carl.” I share my thoughts on how these copycats operate, the impact they have on my revenue, and the emotional rollercoaster I go through every time I see one of my apps cloned.


I also discuss the balance between finding inspiration and outright copying, reflecting on my own experiences both as a victim of copying and as someone who has made mistakes in this area. Through this journey, I’ve learned valuable lessons about maintaining integrity, innovating, and building a brand that stands out.
