A former Presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, has been kicked in the blokos by Google Playstore.
His Crowwe app, which has been described as an instant messaging and financial transaction app that comes with a digital wallet that helps to transfer and receive money while chatting, was deleted by Google yesterday.
Following the announcement of Twitter ban by the Federal Government of Nigeria, Adamu quickly presented the Crowwe app as an alternative to the microblogging website that can help to grow Nigeria according to him.
“Join Crowwe now! Build your country, Build your people and Build your Brand. Join Crowwe now
“This is the best opportunity to grow Nigeria to Build Nigeria, Crowwe to the World.” he twitted.
He also expressed his excitement in an interview with Channels TV that the federal government has banned the operations of Twitter in the country. Practically rejoicing and celebrating another man’s downfall.
“Twitter has no right to infuse into our local political affairs. It’s a company not a government. By removing our democratically elected President’s speech to the people of Nigeria, Twitter need to shut down from Nigerian internet space. Twitter need to get out of Nigeria,” he said.
So the werey wanted to seize the opportunity of Twitter Ban in Nigeria to advertise his Cow app, but it ended in premium tears as millions of Nigerians drop negative reviews about the app on playstore and got it removed.
Why Crowee App Was Deleted From Playstore?
Nigerians including myself, criticised the application on many grounds including its privacy policy. For instance, critics discovered that Crowwe’s Terms and Conditions were copied from another app, Spotify. The discovery was also verified by Dubawa, a fact-checking platform, to be true. Copycat 
The app has since received terrible reviews which could be responsible for its disappearance on Google playstore.
Below are few among thousands negative reviews:
“This App represents everything that defines wrong. From the space it takes on phone, to the design interface and user experience, it makes me wonder if thoughts went into the development of this App. For the benefit of doubt, check the login icon and how unnecessarily bad it looks, the dashboard looks fraudulent and the trademark looks like that of ISIS. I am suspecting the App to be from that side. Please take it down so that people can be protected. Zero Star App.”
Another reviewer alleged that the app was being used to recruit members for terrorist organisations.
“This app has been found to be used for recruitment purposes by terrorist orgs like Boko Haram and ISWAP. It steals your personal data which the developers turn in for phising. It is also harmful to your device. In fact, I had to do factory reset to be able to make my device efficient again after installing this app. I would recommend that YOU DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP. Look at the 4 star ratings, pay attention to the names and be convinced that the app is specifically designed to enhance terrorism.”
Shamefully, Garba, however, told posted on his Facebook page that the company was working on updating the application. He said that is why the app was deleted on play store.
The Fulani herdsman can lie sha. One does not necessarily have to remove an application before updating it.
According to Playstore, once your update is available, users can download the update on your app’s store listing page or from their My apps page on the Play Store app. If a user has turned on automatic updates for your app, the update will be downloaded and installed automatically.
According to Playstore policy, Google removes applications that are perceived to have violated its policy. And once your app is removed, the published version of your app won’t be available on Google Play until a compliant update is submitted, the app store policy states.
As the name suggest, “Adamu” which also mean “MUMU”, nothing he sabi. Just dey lie lie.
Lazy Nigerian youths won this time!
