The crazy thing is the #4 paid app is this violent fantasy about shooting people with a sniper rifle and that's apparently OK:

The #5 paid app is a scam designed to confuse (check out the reviews):

That's really curious. The "lock-screen" app has a Rated 4+ indication, yet it's actual ratings are 1-star. There's something fishy here, how come this doesn't get the appstore lords' attention?

Rated 4+ refers to the approved age group, not average review rating.
