[Gimp-user] "GIMP" for iOS

[Zot Dudot <zotdudot7 gmail com>]

Hello. First of all, thank you all for being a part of the legend that is GIMP!

Recently, I noticed there is an app for iOS in iTunes 
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/awesome-gimp-photo-editor-pro/id756630894?mt=8 which uses the name GIMP, uses 
the GIMP mascot for the icon, is NOTHING like GIMP whatsoever, doesn't give a disclaimer about its 
nonofficial status, and (most outrageously) is charging money. I purchased this app yesterday thinking it 
would be similar to GIMP, yet it couldn't be more different if it tried. The main interface uses an editing 
suite by Aviary. This same suite has shown up in other entirely unrelated apps. Apart from that, the only 
original feature is a bare-bones main screen with a difficult-to-use photo selection feature and the ability 
to share the saved project with others. That's it. I have a feeling something hinky is going on.

The developer's name for the misnamed GIMP app is Amit Chaudhary. I don't know if any of you know him (I'm 
guessing you do not, I don't see his name listed among Gimp's developers/contributors nor is he listed among 
Aviary's: http://aviary.com/company). If you do, are you aware of this issue? If you do not, do you plan on 
taking any legal action? After all, I (and surely others) feel cheated out of the money I spent on the app. 
Whereas your desktop app is stellar (and unbelieveably free)! So I was naturally surprised and let down by 
this pretender app.

If this is all a mistake on my end, I apologize. However, it would be nice if the app were more similar to 
the Gimp we all know and love, insofar as that is practicable on iOS.

Thank you kindly for your attention.

Regards,
