Special Episode - Anatomy of an App Store Scam with Kosta Eleftheriou

I have a special episode for you today, my full interview with "App Hunter" Kosta Eleftheriou.
This interview is a part of my monthly show, AF Chats, where I interview people from around the app world. It's geared towards app makers, but this interview goes beyond that and touch on something that's important to everyone who cares about apps.
 
I hope you'll enjoy it.
