– The Univer Note application has topped the ranking of free applications in recent days.

A illegal application number 1. On the Apple App Store, an application beat that of Google on Monday, November 4. Univer Note says it wants to help users “to record the events of the day and plan your time”. But behind this banal description and the comments of many Internet users who suggest it is a note-taking application, the reality is quite different. In reality, it is illegal. It provides access to a catalog of films and series streaming without subscription. All platforms are available: Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV… But the American brand has finally deleted the application from its catalogNovember 4th.

Its promotion was widely distributed on social networks. On X (formerly Twitter), posts generated hundreds of thousands of views. An account has been suspended. Apple has already faced this type of illegal streaming application in the past. The American company notably closed the Micro Habits application and Flower Butler, which also specialize in illegal streaming. Univer Note is therefore a new version of these applications.

An update making the application illegal

Apple explains that 500 experts evaluate “every app submitted by developers around the world before it reaches users”. According to Numerama, Apple was able to validate a first version of the completely legal application before it was updated to watch films and series illegally.
