### 5/5 — Block this app

*2023-12-03*

This is the Rubika app, which includes Apple sanctions and has entered the App Store with a new shell. In line with the sanctions against apps that have led to severe censorship in Iran, please block this app.

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2022-09-22*

this is an app used by the intelligence service of iran, created by SEPAH which has been sanctioned by the US for terrorist activity. It being available here is a clear violation of international law.
This app’s already gotten removed from the app store under the name of “Robika”, so now they’re branding it as Roboca to throw you off.
REMOVE IT FROM THE APP STORE IMMEDIATELY
