How to contribute to the Fleeceware App Lists?

[2kit]

Thank you very much for coining the term "Fleeceware" and providing the lists for iOS and Android. This is a very important step to fight scam apps and hopefully Apple and Google will react appropriately to stop them. Did you or do you have plans to directly contact Apple and Google regarding this matter and the data?

Our developer team would like to contribute more apps to the lists. Do you have a thought about a process for contributing?

We see following options for contributing:
(a) Create a pull request on github
(b) Add the scam apps here an, directly in the issue
(c) Send you the identified apps as a list (to which email address?)

We would pefer variant (c) as this would give Avast the chance to check our data before it gets published.

Furthermore here are some suggestions for improving the lists:

• Add the link to the app on the App Store or Play Store
• Add the developer name and the link to the developer account on the App Store or Google Play.
• Sort the list by developers. There will probably be a lot of scam apps by one developer.
• Add the estimated download + revenue total from sensortower for each app. The ratio of revenue per download is very informative.
• Put the SensorTower estimated Download and Revenue Total at the top of the list, as they are very important numbers
• Add the Worldwide Release Date from Sensortower for each app.

We are pretty sure that many other developers, for example @keleftheriou, would also like to contribute to the topic.

Thank you very much in advance.
