Apple and Google reportedly banned applications containing "Flappy" on its name.

Almost a week after Vietnamese developer Dong Nguyen has removed its addicting and frustrating Flappy Bird game app on all forms of digital distribution platforms, several imitations and games named closely alike it sprung out everywhere.

While there is really no big deal with naming an application "flappy," or including the word in the title, security issues are. One problem caused by the game clones was discovered by security experts from Sophos and Trend Micro. Reportedly, some of the Flappy Bird game clones were found to install malicious software that could lead to additional unwanted charges on the player's phone bill.

The issue might have prompted the two companies from rejecting apps bearing the word "flappy."

Ken Carpenter, a Vancouver-based game developer with Mind Juice Media, posted on his Twitter account that his newly developed app, which he named Flappy Dragon, got rejected from Apple's App Store.

TechCrunch reported that Apple rejects apps that contain false, fraudulent or misleading representations, and it rejected Carpenter's app because his "app, and/or its metadata, contains content that could be misleading to users, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines." In Flappy Dragon's case, it's its title, which attempts to leverage the Indie smash hit Flappy Bird, which is, by the way, has been yanked out already.

Aside from Carpenter, there are other developers who got rejected by Apple.

"@madgarden @wtrebella @kylnew @MindJuiceMedia I think you should resubmit. Besides Ken, I know 3 other devs who just got rejected. :S," said a tweet from @kuyimobile.

After that, Carpenter also tried submitting the game to Google Play Store but got rejected again.

He said in a tweet using his account @MindJuiceMedia, "I was rejected from Google Play too. :-)"

Apparently, Google considers any game with the word "flappy" in its title a spam, said @happymagegames,
