Audacity for iPhone?

(I know this is the wrong place for this post, but I can’t find any place that would be right for it.)

I recently came across something using the Audacity name and logo on the Apple App Store, at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/audacity-audio-editor/id1622835081. Of course, I strongly suspect this to be a ripoff, especially given that it “Offers In-App Purchases”, but I thought that I should ask here for confirmation, and that the TRUE Audacity team (and their lawyers) should be made aware of this item’s existence.

It’s certainly a trademark violation. I’ll inform the dev team.

Thank you for your report. We received word that this infringement has now been reported to Apple.

A quick update. As before, Apple was notified, and now they have changed the icon and name. All based off of your report. Thank you. :smiley:

I just had another look, and it seems these folks have resumed their trademark infringement. Whenever they think people have stopped looking, they change the icon and/or name back. I guess they need a more forceful reminder that what they’re doing is a no-no. :angry: :unamused:

The thing is taken down worldwide, according to Apple. I believe that the “Connecting…” screen is their version of a 404. That said, I just found another one, this time from a HATINH PHARMACEUTICAL JOINT STOCK COMPANY. Which comes in handy because I’ll need some pills soon to deal with these headaches :smiley:

It’s up again I guess

And they’re back!
This time, it’s a pet shop:

I need an official version for both android and ios

There is none.

It’s April 2026 and the app is still there at the App Store.

Actually, right now there are two:

That last one uses a slightly modified logo, but puts the word "audacity” right under the title when you look at it on the phone. Those lawyers must be mighty busy swatting down these pests…
