Zynn, a short-form video app on the lines of TikTok, has been banished from the Play Store. The development follows allegations that a large number of videos on the new app are plagiarized from TikTok and other similar platforms. In an interview to Wired, some TikTok creators claimed that their accounts have been cloned entirely on Zynn. The app was still available on Apple’s App Store when we checked this morning.

Launched on Android and iOS last month, Zynn has become one of the most downloaded apps on both platforms. The meteoric rise of the app can largely be credited to its reward scheme that pays users to watch videos and recruit other users. According to the app’s homepage, each user earns a flat $1 for signing up. They also get $20 for the first person they get and to join, and $10 for every five people thereafter.
