The top 90 US results for your brand name on the App Store and Google Play, checked daily. When a copycat surfaces, you get a scored, explained match with the full listing record and the report route to remove it.
Self-serve and transparent. No sales calls, unless you want one.
A copycat listing borrows your name and icon. People who install it believing it is yours hand over logins and payments, and the trust they lose is yours. Size is no protection; a smaller brand usually just has nobody watching the stores.

Done. Possible next steps: a Google Play trademark or impersonation report, contacting the developer, or a cease and desist, each with steps and the right channel.
Reported to Play. Track it as a takedown.
Takedown started, store report logged. Mark it succeeded once the listing is removed.
A copycat title is where the work starts. notolens records the listing, the developer behind it, and how far it has spread, part of 70+ signals across domain, trademark, and app matches, then the AI assessor weighs them together.
The store listing as a customer finds it when searching for your brand.
Who publishes the app, and what else they publish.
How far the listing has already spread.
The AI assessor reads every fact together, scores the risk from 0 to 10, and writes down why. A failed assessment shows as failed, never as low risk.

Google Play listing carries your brand name in its title under a generic developer identity with no related catalog. The listing is live and collecting installs.
Illustrative record with sample data.
A copycat app is cheapest to stop before it collects installs and ratings. Both stores remove impersonating listings, but only once someone reports them. notolens surfaces new listings carrying your brand name while removal is still a form, not a crisis.
The top 90 US results for your brand name on each store are checked daily for listings whose title carries your name. The AI assessment then weighs copycat icons and developer identities that imply an official connection.
Apple reviewed 9.1 million submissions in 2025 and rejected over 2 million; Google Play blocked 1.75 million policy-violating apps the same year. What still gets through is exactly what monitoring exists for.
Each match keeps the listing snapshot a store report needs: developer name and contact, rating counts, the Google Play install count, icon, and the store URL.
notolens checks the top 90 US results for your brand, the listings people actually find and install. Watched listings refresh daily, so Google Play install growth, review counts, and developer changes append new records.

Only need domain coverage? See the Domain Monitor plan.
Step-by-step procedures for both stores, plus the register and domain coverage that pairs with app monitoring.
Report a copycat iOS app through Apple’s Content Dispute and App Name Dispute forms: what the forms require, what Apple shares with the developer, and what to expect.
Report a copycat Android app on Google Play: the impersonation flag vs. the trademark complaint route, what each form requires, and when to contact the developer first.
A registered mark is what both stores ask for when you report an app. Watch USPTO, EUIPO and WIPO filings for conflicts at the source.
Lookalike domains and fake apps are usually the same campaign. Domain coverage is included in the same plan.
A spoofed listing is one costume. The same operators run fake login pages, copycat portals and lookalike email domains on the web.

App store brand protection is the continuous checking of app store listings for names, icons, and developers imitating your brand. The top 90 US results for your brand name on the App Store and Google Play are checked daily for listings whose title carries that name. notolens adds an AI risk score, the full listing record, and the store's report route for each match.
The Apple App Store and Google Play, on their US storefronts. Each store is searched daily for your brand name, and the top 90 ranked results are checked for impersonation signals.
notolens checks the top 90 US results for your brand name on the App Store and Google Play and flags listings that use your name. An AI assessor then weighs the icon, developer identity, and listing details against your brand and scores the risk from 0 to 10.
The match lands in your inbox with a risk score and the full listing record: developer name and contact details, rating counts, the Google Play install count, icon, and the store URL. From there you can watch it, dismiss it, or start a tracked takedown.
No. notolens is self-guided: it surfaces the match, the record, and possible next steps such as a store report or developer outreach, but it never files or contacts anyone on your behalf. Both stores route brand complaints through trademark or impersonation channels, which the notolens guides cover step by step.
For the strongest route, yes: both stores ask for trademark registration details on their legal channels. Google Play also has an impersonation report for apps that mislead users about their affiliation, which does not require asserting IP rights.
The Brand Monitor plan covers 1 brand with 3 domains, 1 trademark, and 1 app: daily domain scans, weekly register checks, daily app store checks, AI risk scoring, and MCP access for AI agents.
Add your brand and monitoring starts right away: the first store check is requested as soon as the asset is added. Each listing arrives scored and explained, in your dashboard, daily digest, or AI agent.
