How do I report an app for violating guidelines?

A particular app required my email address, with a privicy policy of "won't share under any circumstances unless legally required", then sold my email to publishers. Now they are using Push notifications to send ads. I had to uninstall it to stop them.

I also am interested in this question.
I have an app that is clearly in violation of the App Store Guidelines provided to developers, and which lists explicit items that will cause you to not be accepted.
TouchTunes uses/requires in-app entry of a credit card number. (section 11.2)

TS1702 How can i report an app for their coding

Hi, i just wonder how can i report space ape for making bad game? Their samurai siege constantly have bad coding, one instance where they advice their users to change the device clock to "work around their bugs" and do not advice other of potential harm this could do to the device, leaving quite a few losing their other game progress and work progress. On another instance is how to create a new village. One would assume that you can create the new village if you have new game center, but the server still remember the device if it was once log in. Like atm, i have 1 village on my iphone 5, and im thinking of making a new village on my ipad, but when i installed the game on my ipad, i forgot to log out of the gc, and it continually loading my iphone 5 village on my ipad. I have tried log out, delete, reinstall, etc. one should not have that much trouble trying to get a new village on a new device. Now i have two device logging each other off because of this issue, and still can't get it to give me new village.
This is bad if i log on my friend's phone to check my village, and she can't create a new game because she is stuck with my village, and i can not play mine if she open the app. This is really stupid coding. Not only these two issuse, the company constantly producing new updates, and pay no attention whatsoever on quality assurance. And i'm fed up with it, as they are continually violating apple rules.

How to report an app for auto-dialling premium lines!

Hi,
I was wondering how I can report an app (or series of apps) to Apple.
To put this in conext, we had been trying to track down a number of premium rate numbers (at £1.53 / $2.30 a pop) appearing on my wifes bill. Eventually we have tracked it down to a series of apps from "eFlashCards, LLC" in the App Store. This morning, we actually saw our son use the "Baby Flash Cards" app and it automatically dial the number - see below. The phone was not signed into iTunes at the time.
These learning apps are designed for toddlers, and it seems that they have been designed badly on purpose (I'm a software developer so I can tell how these things work!) to encourage the toddler to press a banner with pictures of cartoon animals on. When this is pressed the app automatically dials and connects to a premium rate line, without any kind of confirmation or second-level authorisation.
I tried contacting eFlashApps directly to inform them that they may not be aware of this issue (in case they are using an advertising plug-in in their code) which seems to have occured since they updated their apps at the beginning of March, as we vet all apps when first installed and this "feature" was not there originally. They did not reply, and when I posted a message on their facebook wall to let them know, they deleted my comment and did not contact me.
We are also now contacting our line rental provider to inform them too, but I can't see anywhere suitable other than via the "Reviews" section of the app, and if you check iTunes you'll see other people reporting the same thing, but the app is still there.
Any other suggestions please? Although we've now removed the app I'd like to ensure other parents do not fall for this, and in my opinion this is much worse than the recent "in-app purchase" problems reported in the media.
Thanks.

You should definitely contact Apple's iTunes Store team: http://www.apple.com/au/support/itunes/contact/.

Hello, I have two iphones but one Apple ID. How can I use localization apps for a dedicated device? Tx

On the iPad open Settings/iCloud and delete the account using the button at the bottom. Once deleted log in using the other account. For iTunes Stores use Settings/iTunes & Apps Stores, tapp on the Apple ID at the top then sign out. Once done sign in using the other account. Once you are happy with the changes plug your iPad into your computer to update the backup.

How do I report a bug for SAP 3D Visual Viewer?

How do I report a bug for SAP 3D Visual Viewer?
I have version 8.0.100.27428, Jun 18 2014

Hi Ellen,
Hope you are doing good.
The best option would be to raise a OSS incident in the component: CA-VE-VEV or CA-VE-CAD so that my colleagues can actually investigate this further and release a bug patch if needed.
Thank you!
Kind Regards,

How to see AppStore & get apps for iPad in English from overseas?

The Facts (ma'am):
I just received a new iPad as a gift. It was purchased in Russia, where I am going to be located for some time.
My Apple account is in USA, where I am from and where I bank. I created it when I was there in 2009 and bought a MacBook Pro direct from Apple.
I want to get iPad apps for Skype and Facebook in English.
I configured the iPad with my U.S. Apple account credentials. I set the OS language set to English and did all other settings for USA and English (afaik).
Location services are OFF in System Preferences.
The (Aggravating) Problem:
When I click the AppStore icon on the iPad the AppStore comes up in RUSSIAN, despite the settings. I speak a little Russian but don't read it. My Russian wife cannot see any way to switch it to English.
The (Possibly Stupid) Questions:
With a U.S. Apple account configured and all System Prefrences except time zone set for USA/English, is it possible to access AppStore and apps in English while physically located in Russia?
If yes... HOW???
Thanks in advance for any help.

Unfortunately, not at this time. Language is pre-set by the store nationality.
