I am not a lawyer but there is an obvious thing to investigate. Does it look like they used your code, your icons, etc? If so, then you have a straightforward copyright infringement case, and under US law you can send Apple a DMCA notice to get it taken down.

I don't think they copied any of my code nor assets. However, their app does basically the same as mine, but lacking and lot of features and their is UI not as polished as mine (the app looks pretty amateur).
