Repository metrics

Pleaes help report these copycat apps on Google Play. I believe they are violating the Repetitive Content policy inside Play Developer Policy.

~~File Manager Advanced - File Explorer by X-Gen.~~
~~File Explorer FTP Server by Corproxy Innovation: Closed source, 50,000+ installs.~~
File Manager Pro by Premium Quality Apps: Probably closed source (didn't purchase to check), paid app, 1,000+ installs
File manager 2022 by Mobile tools: Probably closed source (didn't purchase to check), paid app, 1,000+ installs
File manager 12 by Mobile tools: Probably closed source (didn't purchase to check), paid app, 100+ installs
~~File Manager by AX Media player & Editor: Closed source (no open source info on Play or in app), modified UI, contains ads, 10,000+ installs.~~ Author promised to release source code in the next build.

You can report these apps in Play store app with "Flag as inappropriate", or submit a report form online.

Thanks!
