"Feedback" named app mysteriously appeared in my Launchpad today. What is this?

Hello,

yesterday I updated itunes, safari and other, and a mysterious app named "Feedback" has appeared in my Launchpad. See screenshot. If you click on it, nothing happens. If you try to delete it, you can't.


If I go into applications, "Feedback" is not there.


Anyone has any idea what this is and how to get rid of it?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.13

Hi

actually I fixed it.

So as said before, if I search into "applications" the app was not there.

Even searching with spotlight yesterday would only show me "Feedback" and the clicking on it nothing would happen.


But then by accident I misspelled "Feedback" while searching again in spotlight. And when I corrected the spelling some list of folders named feedback appeared actually a lot of them.


At that point I went to "see results in finder" and then it was possible to "highlight" the app finally. And I went command+i but honestly I didn't see any useful information.


From then I could just delete the app easily by dragging it into the trash.


I still have a lot of folders named "feedback" but the app is not there anymore. I wonder what this was and if it will re-appear.


Thank you

Fabio
