Nice, #Catima is popular enough for cloned versions with the copyright info illegally stripped and advertisement and tracking added to start appearing on the "well-moderated" #GooglePlay store.
It's kinda hilarious to me, because the About screen also contains the privacy policy. Which means that these apps removing the About screen are already breaking Google Play policy by not having a clear privacy policy inside the app.
