Its not a fake app. The one on the play store is fake.
Firstly check your internet connection that it is working properly. Secondly when you enter the app , it automatically takes you to bb website, press back key and you will get back in the app. If it again takes you to the website , press back and you will see a cross mark on the top right side, click it and you wont go back to the website.
I have been using it from the last night and have made 10 friends and joined 2 groups.
I personally feel its UI is much better than whatspp.
Check out the screenies.
