I cannot find the Scoopz app! Was it taken down?

I’m having the same problem: the app is on my phone but nothing is posting anymore. I looked it up on the App Store and it’s gone. Does anyone think it will become available again?

As of October 15 scoops was removed from the App Store due to TOS violations that resulted in disturbing videos of people committing crimes

The developer can remove the app from the App Store at any time and they do not need to provide an explanation. If you know the name of the developer, then make an attempt to contact them. It could be they were not making enough money and it did not make sense for them to continue paying to have the app distributed or the cost to maintain the app were too great.

The developer can also choose to restrict the app to certain regions where it will no longer be available for you.

I can't even find mention of an iOS version with a general web search. Was there ever one?

As for it being gone, have you asked the developer?

My brother just tried to find it and we couldn’t find it in the App Store either. I sent him the app over text and when he tried to open it, it said app was not available I think they might have taken it down 😞

That is correct. When an app is no longer available in the App Store it cannot be downloaded. Apps are not removed from your device when they don't remain in the App Store, but you will not be able to download it again. Setting up a new device requires the apps to be available in order to download them to the new device.

Correct!

• App is no longer available to download
• Previous downloads are not removed from your phone by Apple. They will remain there.
• The web link to the App Store tells you it is no longer available.
• The developer has not commented

Please read what has been posted. It is no longer available.

The app has existed for a while, and the developer's name is Local Ai Inc, I cannot find any information about the company that developed it.

If you can't find information about the developer, that would be a huge red flag. Developers for apps in the App Store must include a Support Link for users to be able to look for assistance.

In the Google App Store, the app is still there.

Developers pay a yearly fee for the apps in either the Google Play store or the Apple Store, so it may be a matter of time until that term has expired. Without being able to contact the developer, you have no idea.

That would do it alright. Apparently no comment from the developer?

I live in the US and had it downloaded on my other phone, but when I looked it up in my new phone, it says “app not available in your country/region” ????
