Freecash, a rewards app operated by German company Almedia GmbH, rocketed from under 900,000 monthly downloads to nearly 6 million in four months by running deceptive TikTok ads and allegedly circumventing a prior App Store ban through a Cyprus-based shell developer account. Apple removed the app on April 14, 2026, after a TechCrunch investigation exposed its misleading marketing and aggressive data harvesting — raising serious questions about why the app sat at the No. 2 position on the U.S. App Store for months before anyone acted.
